Injured Hinchcliffe hopes to return for offseason testing
(AP) — Sporting a full beard, James Hinchcliffe flashed a smile as he walked into an interview room without any trace of a limp.
He has come a long way since a sustaining a life-threatening leg injury during a practice crash in May at Indianapolis.
The goal is to start ramping up rehab and physical therapy after another surgery at the end of the month.
Mobility is important, he said, because doctors want the infused blood to keep flowing since clotting and infection remain concerns.
The closest he can get to being behind the wheel is playing the Gran Turismo 6 racing video game on his PlayStation system.
