CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Less than four months after receiving a
heart transplant, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson says
he's "doing great."
Richardson received applause from players when he rode a golf
cart onto the practice field at the beginning of an optional
workout on Thursday. Wearing a dark jacket and blue tie, Richardson
appeared much thinner than before the surgery, but also showed
energy.
Attending his first practice in more than a year, the
72-year-old Richardson got up from his cart several times to shake
hands of players and coaches.
Richardson received a new heart on Super Bowl Sunday, less than
two months after being placed on the transplant list. He has since
regained much of his strength and is responding well to treatment.
