Tech back, but beat up
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Back at it two days after the Yellow Jackets’ first scrimmage, and a day removed from the first off day of the summer. The off day was not enough for A LOT of players, including starting DE Darrell Robertson. He’s not practicing, but is moving around from drill to drill with the D-linemen as opposed to working out on the side (the beach) with other injured players. I won’t be surprised if he practices this afternoon.
There are at least 11 not practicing, the only notable newcomer to the list of the shelved being Fr. RB Jonathan Dwyer. He has some sort of left leg issue, but was moving well while working out on, “the beach.”
Otherwise, without going into much detail, here’s who else is out as far as I can tell: TE Colin Peek (but not in that removable boot any more), Ts Andrew Gardner and A.J. Smith, WRs James Johnson (sore knee), Andrew Smith (hamstring), Demaryius Thomas (right knee, but moving pretty well as far as I can see) and R.B. Clyburn, DL Logan Walls (mending broken leg), LB Travis Chambers (shoulder).
WRs Correy Earls and D.J. Donley are getting work with the first unit because of injuries to others.
LT Jason Hill is back, but working with the No. 2s behind Fr. Clyde Yandell. Lonowski continues to work in A.J.’s No. 1 RT spot.
Interestingly, DT Elris Anyaibe took some snaps in Robertson’s No. 1 RDE spot rather than sophomore Robert Hall. Also, LDE Adamm Oliver worked in that spot some as Michael Johnson worked at No. 1 LDE in 11-on-11 work.
With Dwyer down, Earls, Rashaun Grant and Jamaal Evans took kickoffs.
Everybody seems a little more sedate than usual. Tenuta’s making noise, but it’s quieter than usual. Tashard hasn’t gotten revved up yet.
Gotta go. More later. Questions?

P.S. in passing drills, Booker just threw a nice touchdown pass in the left corner to RB. Roddy Jones with S Jake Blackwood covering.
