• Craig Steltz (groin), Chris Conte (shoulder), Kyle Long (viral infection), and Terrence Toliver (foot) did not practice today.
• Long has been cleared to practice, and the plan is to have him do some conditioning over the next few days. According to Trestman, “He’s got to get his legs back underneath him. I think by Saturday night, you’ll see him in pads.”
