DJ Smith was back to practice along with Wells after a one day absence. I didn't catch Wells issue if it was reported, but Smith had a 24 hour bug.

The only player still not practicing is Starks and its viewed as likely he returns next Wednesday.

Clifton and Bulaga both made it through 2 full practices in a row, including one padded one. Seems like a low bar but for Clifton that is more than he does in a typical rest the veterans week. Each reported feeling good about playing but sore.

I'm really starting to think that when he had that domestic abuse issue, she hit him in the head and he wasn't willing to admit it. He's been a bone idiot ever since.

I completely support the fine and hope this makes him play the way he has in the past.

I hope this stunt keeps him on the bench permanently.

Ziggy and Pugger where right. Shoulda left the bum in jail.

The NFLPA probably should fine Walden's GF for letting him return too soon from a concussion.
