    On the injury front, Pooh Jeter has been upgraded to probable. Jackson, Dalembert and Whiteside are all still out.

Quiet day out here at the practice facility. The players look like they are loose and ready to play, even if it is short-handed. Expect to see Donté Greene a little at the four and also Connor Atchley to eat some minutes.
