According to this notebook column, defensive starters Peria Jerry and Allen Walker were back at practice yesterday. Neither participated in all of the contact drills.
When asked if he was going to be careful with Jerry, Houston Nutt said, “Well, he’s not going to scrimmage anymore, if that’s what you’re getting at.”
Also on the injury front, and this is a doozy, star offensive tackle Michael Oher took a helmet to the forearm yesterday and had to go in for x-rays… x-rays that showed no breaks. (That’s Oher at left.)
“He’s gotta be OK,” Nutt said. “I’m praying right now – hard.”
And some leftover notes can be found here, including the fact that freshman kicker Bryson Rose is pushing Joshua Shene for the team’s place-kicking duties.
