Ward Progressing

November
21

I’ll believe Derrick Ward will play Sunday when I see it. But he was talking with high hopes today after participating in individual drills.

He didn’t exactly explode through the line in the limited time the media got to view him. And he still has to get into some hard cutting. But he was optimistic that tomorrow will bring an increased workload, and that by Sunday, providing he doesn’t have a setback in his ankle and groin injuries, he’ll be able to get out there against the Vikings.

In fact, he said it would be very likely.

Again, I’ll believe it when I see it. But at least the kid is back on the practice field.

Steve Smith can’t say the same. The rookie wide receiver had to quit practice early when his hamstring tightened up. It’s not official yet, but you may assume him out for his ninth straight game unless the hamstring fairy heals him tomorrow.

Like Smith, this blog will be shut down tomorrow as its author slips blissfully into a tryptophan-induced coma. Don’t make pigs of yourselves now. And may all your turkey dreams be yummy.

Happy Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown!!!!!!!

Ciao for now.
