Aug. 8 - Practice Recap/Injury Report

Short notes from the morning practice today:

-- An MRI confirmed Tony Temple only bruised his knee. He wore a red jersey this morning and should be back rather soon. The Trib's Dave Matter had a funny quote from Temple's father regarding the hit:
“Well, finally. I like the defense playing like that.”

-- Marcus Woods and Jimmy Jackson will get extra reps to determine the No. 2 at running back. Woods will have to overcome ball security problems and Jackson's inexperience is a built-in disadvantage. Woods continues to refuse to talk to the media.

-- Hardy Ricks did indeed dislocate his shoulder, and says whether or not he will play in the season opener against Illinois will be determined by his range of motion. Paul Simpson is getting a look in his place.

-- Tempers flared up between the first team offense and defense, as a confrontation between William Moore and Danario Alexander sparked a meeting of the minds in the end zone.

-- Both Adam Crossett and Jeff Wolfert kicked off - no word on who is winning that job.

-- Graham Watson's Tiger Tracker has a couple of interesting notes, including Monte Wyrick earning some reps and Chase Patton's confidence at QB.
