The day after

Well, the preseason got started in earnest Friday night with the first exhibition game.

We didn't get a crack at Jon Gruden today like we had hoped. We thought there was a chance he would spend a few minutes with the media today to answer some of the leftover questions that got missed because of tight deadlines Friday night.

Oh well.

Anyhow, as far as we know, there weren't any significant injuries last night. And as for those who missed the game, we hear linebacker Barrett Ruud (knee) should be back practicing tomorrow. We think Michael Clayton (hamstring) is close, too. Not exactly sure, however, of the status on Sabby Piscitelli. His injury really hasn't been explained, either. And judging by the rehab exercises he was doing when we last saw him on Thursday, he could be a few days away.

Time for a little rest before we drag ourselves back to Orlando on Sunday for a single afternoon practice. Two-a-days resume on Monday.
