Greetings.
Once again, it looked, during the half-hour we're allowed to watch practice, that receiver Eric Decker (ankle) and cornerback Marcus Sherels were moving well.
"I feel great," Decker said.
Decker has taken a few hits in the year-plus I've been watching him. He had that big on in Illinois that dinged his shoulder, the ankle injury against Northwestern last year and the big one against Cal last Saturday.
"I guess it comes with the territory a little bit," Decker said. "Going across the middle, I know there will be some hits. But, whether or not you get hit, you have to catch the ball."
Sherels, meanwhile, is ready to go. He was close last week. This week he'll play with a brace that helps him run pain free.
And it looks like defensive end Derrick Onwuachi, who hurt his knee in the first practice of training camp, is ready to make his return to action. How much he plays will depend on how he looks after such a layoff, But there is no reason he shouldn't reclaim his starting spot, either now or later.
"He was a starter," coach Tim Brewster said. "he is one of our better players. It's great to have him back."
