On the status of LT Rodger Saffold, who has been dealing with a bone bruise, Spags said: ““He bounced back, which was good to see because we can’t afford to lose anybody. And he bounced back, which is good. We dodged a bullet there. It ended up being a contusion, so that was good.”

The team also had a few guys miss practice today. One was CB Brian Jackson, who is being called day-to-day after suffering a knee injury. S Quintin Mikell was also absent on Thursday, but it wasn’t injury related. Mikell was with him wife as the two celebrated the birth of their child. CJ Ah You was also still out, which was of no surprise to anyone.

As for the other guys who are banged up, let’s start with Fred Robbins, who is dealing with a hand contusion suffered on Sunday. He went for an X-ray on Monday, and everything reportedly looked fine. Rodger Saffold has a bone bruise on his ankle/leg area, and Cadillac Williams has a thigh contusion. Both players had MRI on Monday, so we should know more about the seriousness of those injuries in the coming days.

For all the Mark Clayton fans out there, he will be practicing this week and could return to game action soon. Spags said that they won’t rush him out there until he is ready, so they will watch him close and hopefully he will be able to help the team out soon. Marquis Johnson was also activated from the PUP list, and the same goes for him. Johnson isn’t a game-changer by any means, but we obviously seen some depth at DB, so his return should be a good thing.
