It tightened up a little bit toward the end of practice yesterday and I pulled him out of that second practice. He's just getting back in the swing of things. It's not near as bad as it was when he left but I just don't want to take any chances. It would be nonproductive.
It's an unfortunate setback for Jerome. It's a shame because he's worked extremely hard over the past several weeks to return to the practice field. After today's events, that obviously won't happen any time soon. We wish him all the best in his recovery from this surgery.
We are going to work both quarterbacks in practice and see how they do, and I will make a decision by the end of the week.
They're just not right yet. We will give them this next week and see how they do. Tra has been cleared to play, so that is a positive and he did practice. He practiced very hard. He will work through it next week and we will see how he does.
They settled that. They've been fine on the practice field so we didn't have any questions about that. That's all we care about.
Lamar is a big back with good speed and quickness. He also has the ability to catch the ball which will help him in this offense. He's a talented, young running back who should be a good compliment to the rest of the backs on this team. We're look forward to getting him into Philadelphia and onto the practice field this week.
It happened last year. He works through it and does a bunch of exercises before practice to get that thing loose. He will be fine. I think the more he continues to play and practice, the better shape he will be in and he will be ready to go.
He did the walk-through this morning and will not practice this afternoon.

When all is said and done, people really don't care whether you ran or threw the ball. They care about winning and losing. We're going to try to do what's working for us and do the best way can.
We understand it's never as good as you think and never as bad as you think in this league. Mike Nolan's putting together a football team right now, working his tail off to get that thing right. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
I've said that from the beginning. Both of them are good people.
Is it going to bug him here for a little bit? ... Yes, probably. Will the bye week (after the Dallas game) help? Probably. But I can't tell you that this far in advance. Donovan's a pretty straightforward guy. Certain guys, you can talk to about (injuries) and they will tell you what's up and if they can go or not go. Donovan's one of those guys.
First thing is, he is a great kid. He worked so hard in the offseason to get that thing back and he came (into camp) in phenomenal shape. We were looking forward to getting him back in there and for that to happen, your heart just goes out to the guy.
