Restocking the shelf

Phil B gives us updates on all the injured players. It’s mostly good news.

The oft-injured Sanders, sidelined for 40 of 85 games in his five-year career, is recovering from offseason surgery on his right knee and has practiced on a limited basis for two weeks.

“He is hungry, there’s no question about that,” coach Jim Caldwell said before the team was given four days off. “I think he’s been preparing diligently. He looks good out there. He’s moving around. He looks like Bob. So we’re all anxious. When he gets comfortable with where he is and what he’s doing, we’ll get him in there at some point in time.”
