Practice Report 12/4
From the Truman Sports Complex
RB Kolby Smith has been declared out of Sunday’s game against Denver, and RB Dantrell Savage will be listed as doubtful.
It sounds like Smith’s ankle injury could be a season-ender. Head coach Todd Haley said the club was waiting for further evaluation on Friday before making a decision as to how they will proceed with Smith this year and with the running back position this weekend.
If Savage can’t play, that leaves only starter Jamaal Charles at halfback. FB Tim Castille has also been taking snaps at the halfback position.
On the team’s practice squad is seventh-round draft choice Javarris Williams. “That’s a possibility,” Haley said of promoting Williams. “We’ll have to see where Savage is at and where we are as a group. We have a couple plans we are ready to go with one way or another.”
OLB Mike Vrabel will be listed as questionable on the team’s injury report to the league later today. “He’s gotten better as the week has gone along,” said Haley. “I’m optimistic with Mike.”
Smith and Savage were the only players who did not take part in Friday’s practice session that Haley moved inside for the first time this week.
Bring up Javarris Williams. Let’s get the kid some carries in a game…and see what he’s got. Why not?
I think the jury is still out on Savage. But, my guess would be that Kolby Smith will finish the season on IR, and then be released.
Yeah give Williams a shot wouldn’t hurt to see what the kid can do.
Aren’t there any ex-Pats out there?
