Hey all --

Just in from practice, and things were different yet again today. Richard Seymour was not on the field, nor was Garrett Mills, though Rodney Harrison was.

Harrison missed yesterday's practice (or at least a portion of it) due to the flu; Mills missed practice on Wednesday, though not yesterday. Seymour also missed practice on Wednesday, though it was later reported he was tending to a family matter; the defensive lineman was at practice yesterday but was not spotted again today.

Artrell Hawkins, who apparently suffered a thigh injury yesterday during practice, was on the field as well. Tedy Bruschi, Chad Jackson and Nick Kaczur, the other players listed as questionable on yesterday's injury report, were at practice, as they have been all week.

Reporters were only allowed on the field for stretching. The players were in shoulder pads and shorts.
