Donald Penn Should Resume Practicing Monday
August 17th, 2012
Donald Penn is expected to resume practicing with the first team on Monday after being activated earlier this evening.
It may have flown past some Bucs fans heads earlier this evening when the Bucs activated Donald Penn, but the Bucs All-Pro left tackle should resume practice full-time next week, so said his backup Demar Dotson.
“I think he will be back next week, will likely be back [practicing with the first team] Monday, which will push me back to a backup position,” Dotson said. “Hopefully he is healed and he will be ready to go next preseason game.”
That would be a week from tonight when the Bucs host the Patriots.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Penn’s calf injury was more related to his weight and inability to pass the conditioning test than an actual calf injury. I sincerely hope this is not the case as a double standard does little to help the new regime’s credibility with the players.

@Brandon
Donald and his agent said he was injured training for sprints.
He only lost 5 weeks of camp due to the dreaded and unnecessary 110×16 torture tests. Now that he’s down to a svelte 250 Lbs he just might be able to pass the test.
He probably won’t be able to participate until he get’s back to his playing weight at 330 LBS.
I heard Hussein Bolt is looking for a job, maybe he can play LT.

Grande: una mente débil es un cuerpo débil. You sound like my 11 year old asking why they can’t practice in the Gym where it’s cool.
