Not exactly super descriptive, but I guess Phil didn't want to get into specifics. He's recovering well, but is taking it slowly:
"Everything is well, man; I can't complain. I did some aggressive physical therapy to get back into training as soon as possible, and now I'm just getting back into a regular training routine. I can't complain; things are really good for me right now."
...
"My thing is that I just want to follow the doctor's guidelines to a tee. I haven't been moving around on my knee too much. I did some really hard physical therapy, and they're like, `You don't have a regular knee. Even if it feels good, don't make the mistake of (thinking our knee is fine.)'
"My knees not fine, and after physical therapy, it needed a lot of rest and just time to let my body get used to having some extra instability. I really don't know as far as the timeline goes where I'm at on that, but I'm on it now and I'm moving around, [without] a whole lot of pain."
