Odell Beckham Jr hopes adrenaline will help him be a part of Sunday's International Series clash at Twickenham.
The New York Giants wide receiver is listed as questionable for Sunday's match, which will see the home of England Rugby host an event from a different sport for the first time.
Beckham Jr, one of the NFL's most well-known names, injured his hip last week against the Baltimore Ravens, but was able to return to the game and score two touchdowns in the Giants' 27-23 victory.
He said: "I feel better. Travelling probably doesn't help as much but I feel better on that end. Definitely feel better than yesterday and I am waking up a little more.
"You're body is starting to wake up a little more all over and hopefully there will be no issues. I think once you get there and you feel the atmosphere [it helps].
"Last week I made it through by the grace of God and it was also the atmosphere that you are in - the adrenaline rush that you can get, and that can make the pain and the nagging of it go away a little bit. Hopefully there will be a lot more of that and I will be ready for Sunday.
"We've got to come out and play the way that, I feel we're capable of playing. Like you said, they're a great defence.
"They've got a great...front four and, front seven, and they've got some guys in their secondary who can play and, some guys who are out there who can make big hits and, and everything. So they are a very physical team.... very chippy team. Love the way that they play. It's going to be.... it's going to be quite a match-up."
