Antonio Pierce was back at practice today after the middle linebacker on Wednesday left early when his back stiffened up.
Back at it again was RT Kareem McKenzie, who appears to have made a swift recovery from the strained groin that forced him out of last Sunday’s game in New Orleans. McKenzie was in his familiar spot, working with the starting offensive line, and appears to be on schedule to start against the Cardinals. If so, it will be the 39th consecutive start for the five-man offensive line.
After a day out of the boot on his right foot, RB Ahmad Bradshaw was back in the boot again and did not practice. Also sitting out once again were DT Chris Canty (calf) and CB Aaron Ross (hamstring).
LB Michael Boley, in his third week of rehab after knee surgery, did some light running on the side. He figures to miss at least two more games.
