Here’s a quick rundown of Saturday’s happenings at the UW.
Tyrone Willingham said that Friday’s practice was a light one, and was the first day the team was solely focusing on Syracuse. Today the Huskies were back in full pads for practice.
Apparently the back problem that has been bothering freshman kicker Erik Folk has come back. It looks like, for now anyway, that the kicking and punting duties will all fall to Jared Ballman and Ryan Perkins, though who does what is still up in the air.
Though it’s looking more and more like injured cornerback Byron Davenport (hamstring) won’t be ready in time for the Syracuse game, he was moving around pretty well at Saturday’s practice. Tailback J.R. Hasty, who apparently has an ankle injury, was again riding a stationary bike rather than practicing.
One quick not on injuries if you missed the story earlier in the week where I mentioned this. Willingham has decided he is not going to disclose injury information on his players. Under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) rules, athletes have to sign a waver allowing the school to discuss injury details. Most player have singed those, but Willingham said he doesn’t want to accidentally give out info on a player who hasn’t, so he’s just not giving us details on any injuries. So when you see a story that says something like “apparent ankle injury” or “unknown injury” that’s why.
The team is off Sunday, but check back Monday for more updates.
