New Rivals story says Burkett isn't practicing, still recovering from knee injury in Spring, and that if he doesn't return in a couple weeks, he won't start the season.
So I have questions. Do any of y'all know what the injury is and when specifically it happened? What are your thoughts on the other Center possibilities should Burkett not return?
The same article mentioned Foster Sarell being set at Tackle. Apparently they don't want him at Guard unless an emergency. And from the sounds of it, he may push Hall out of the starting RT spot. At the same time, they are working Hamilton and Wilson at LG, but Fanaika seems to be the preferred option when he returns from something keeping him out. Kind of odd to see Hamilton's weight reported at 287, and Wilson is only listed at 273, both light for a Guard, especially considering Herbig is what, 340? Fanaika is 315?
There is an open practice on Sunday. Hopefully someone here will attend and give observations.
