Hey all --

Just in from practice and there wasn't too much to see -- especially since most of the media access time was watching the players stretch. Anyway, kicker Martin Gramatica was one of the players not on the field, along with receiver Chad Jackson, linebackers Chad Brown and Freddie Roach, defensive linemen Jarvis Green, Marquise Hill and LeKevin Smith, and of course Tedy Bruschi (wrist surgery), Patrick Pass (PUP list) and Deion Branch (foolish holdout).

On the field for the first time in two weeks was receiver John Stone; tackle Nick Kaczur, off the PUP list yesterday, safety Rodney Harrison and linebacker Monty Beisel also were on the field.
