About a month and a half ago, Adam Eaton had just torn a knee ligament. Eaton says he can walk “pain free” now and is getting full extension in that surgically repaired left knee. “I’m ahead of schedule,” Eaton said, sitting in the dugout before the Nationals’ late afternoon game against the Rangers, about seven weeks after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus. “Can’t really put weeks on how far ahead of schedule we are, but we’ve been weight-bearing for four or five days now,” Eaton said. With a 2017 return unlikely, Eaton said his mind sometimes wanders to the big picture.
