‘Although four players rejoined the fray on the practice field Monday morning, three others left practice early with injuries.’

‘McIntyre hurt his right leg while blocking on a running play midway through practice Monday morning. A few minutes later, Huggins injured his left shoulder after he landed hard while making a diving catch.’

‘”I’m coming along pretty good,” Carrington said. “I’ve still got a lot to learn, but it’s been a good practice for me. Under the veterans I learn a lot, ask questions everyday. They don’t hesitate to give their input on something that will make me better. I’m thankful for that.”‘

‘"I have talked to Wade a few times in the last few years," DeHaven said. "There is not a lot of that that I really want to get back into. I talked about it a lot at the time. I understand that all the fans feel like they have something invested in the team. Of all the people involved I feel more hurt by it than anyone because I did feel responsible."’

‘ "I kind of kid about it and say, ‘If I keep getting better, it will make it harder because people are going to start thinking I’m getting worse if I don’t do as well,’ " said Moorman, who has an ongoing streak of 13 consecutive games with at least one punt of 50-plus yards. "I did have a good year last season, but a lot of that was because the guys covered well. I always try to give credit to the guys in front of me because they do a great job. Garrison [Sanborn] did a great job snapping, being it was his first year. That really helped me as far as being consistent and not worrying about where the snap is going to be."’
