Sunday, while he was still in shorts, he was back working in pairs and was seemingly a full participant in the unit’s drills.

Josh Black dresses

While he didn’t go out to the field, Josh Black did dress for the first time since last week.

Airon Servais practices without pads

Servais left Tuesday’s practice early to get treatment on his ankle. Today he was in shorts and was without pads, his right ankle was heavily taped and he was running drills on the side by himself.

Team scrimmages

In the last five minutes of the open portion of practice, SU lined up for 11-on-11 drills. The first-team offense had a three-and-out against the second-team defense. Then an offense comprised of second- and third-string players took the field, led by Tommy DeVito at quarterback. It was matched up, and went three-and-out, against the first-team defense.

The first-team offense came back on the field and started driving down the field. Dontae Strickland was the running back with the first-team offense on the first drive, while Moe Neal came on for the second drive.

 

 

 

Tuesday, Aug. 15

Who’s out: Defensive ends Josh Black and Jake Pickard were both held out of practice again today. Black has a brace that covers mostly his kneecap. Pickard is wearing a hinged brace going above the knee cap and down to around the shin.

Airon Servais practices

Redshirt freshman Airon Servais practiced with heavily taped ankles. In the 10 minutes of practice open to reporters, he stepped away from the offensive line drills to see the trainer.

Servais, who will be the team’s center if healthy, wore a boot to FanFest Saturday. Head coach Dino Babers said it was not injury, just a precautionary measure for a swollen ankle.
