Injury Update – Bradshaw Visits Specialist: Not practicing yesterday were LB Antonio Pierce (ankle), CB Kevin Dockery (personal reasons), HB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle/foot), DT Chris Canty (calf), LB Michael Boley (knee), and CB Aaron Ross (hamstring).
Bradshaw traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina yesterdayto have his ankle and foot examined by a specialist.
“We’re close,” said Canty regarding his return. “So close it would scare you…Honestly, guys, I’m just telling you I feel really good. The confidence is coming back in my ability to be able to perform athletically. Now, it’s going to be a process of shaking off the rust. We got some work in today. I was doing some drills. I’m sure you guys saw a little bit of that. We just have to keep progressing, keep shaking that rust off and we’ll see where we’re at. It’s a day-to-day thing; it really is. I’m not blowing smoke.”
