From the morning practice...

They just put out an updated roster. John Knox will wear No. 32. He should make his debut in this afternoon's practice.

Not a ton to report from this morning. Bryan Evans was in pads with everybody else, but wearing a green jersey. I spoke to him after practice and he said he's feeling good. Is surprised by how well the hamstring injury is coming along.

Mikey Henderson injured his hip this morning and he may not practice this afternoon. But I did see him walking off after practice and he didn't look terrible. Quintin Banks apparently took a shot to the head and is also questionable for this afternoon's practice. T.J. Gartrell and Thomas Flowers were both riding the exercise bike on the side during the early part of practice, but I assume both took part in practice. Aside from Evans, the only other player in green was Chris Little (wrist).

Spoke with Evans, Corvey Irvin, Rennie Curran and Charles White after practice. I think Irvin's going to see a good bit of the field this year. Curran and White were very impressive kids. They say all the right things, which doesn't necessarily make for a really interview that's full of colorful quotes, but it's impressive that they'd be thrown into this insanity and seem to have their heads on straight.

LATE AFTERNOON EDIT: I wasn't at the practice field yet during flex time this morning, but Dean Legge from Dawgpost.com just told me that Thomas Flowers lined up ahead of Asher Allen at cornerback this morning. I wouldn't read too terribly much into depth chart issues right now, but I thought that was interesting.

Did you get confirmation on Flowers running first-team? I saw it in your notebook.

dean talked to thomas about it. he put a short story about it on the front page of the dawgpost. again, i'd wait till after they scrimmage a time or two before I read a ton into where they're lining up right this second.
