Injury updates, ins and outs
Nearly the entire team was practicing on Wednesday, other than the four guys on either the physically unable to perform list (Tommy Tremble— back, Dan Chisena — calf) or the non-football injury list Bobby Brown III — hamstring, Sam Martin — hamstring).
Defensive tackle Derrick Brown wasn’t there, but he was excused for a personal matter. He’s been cleared to return to practice after last year’s knee injury that cost him all but one game.
As for the guys coming back, Canales described most of them as short-term things, and they’re content to let the Jugs machine handle Martin’s punting duties, so they’re not going to sign a second punter or anything.
Tremble’s situation could linger, after he had back surgery in May after participating in the early part of the offseason work.
“So Tommy’s going to kind of going to have to progress week to week for us,” Canales said. “He’s doing great. I want to say he’s ahead of schedule, but I just know we’re going to just take this thing as it comes. But right now he’s making great strides.
“He looks strong in his rehab and all that, so I’m not sure exactly timeline-wise. I wouldn’t say Tommy’s going to be back soon, like within the next couple of weeks. But, I think three or four weeks or something like that as we evaluate it, could potentially be there.”
