McClure returns to full contact
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Falcons center Todd McClure back in his first full contact practice Wednesday since injuring his back on July 28th. His streak of 96-consecutive starts appears safe for now. (Had to ask him, “Dude, how did you get hurt stretching?” He was nice about it and got a chuckle out of line of questioning.)
Also, cornerback Chris Houston, who dislocated his right shoulder, returned to practice also.
The team whipped through a spirited workout that was very physical. Bodies were flying, but there weren’t any fights. My man Harvey Dahl didn’t even get into any dust-ups. With the Colts coming up on Saturday it was their last physical practice before the Birds break training camp on Friday.
Oh, by the way, Joe Horn continued to nurse his hamstring. He didn’t practice or wasn’t allowed to practice. Steve Wyche and I don’t think anything will happen on the Horn front until teams get a chance to evaluate their own receivers or unless a team loses some receivers to injury.
How big was it getting McClure back? Houston a player? What should they Falcons do with Horn?
