Bebe, Gardner back
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Redshirt freshman receiver Demaryius Thomas returned to practice in full pads today at Georgia Tech. Bebe had been out since suffering an awful-looking knee injury last week that turned out to be far less serious than originally feared. Thomas immediately returned to working with the first team in seven-on-seven drills, alongside James Johnson and Greg Smith. The Yellow Jackets are rotating the receivers, though, and D.J. Donley is running with the first team, too.
Donley just made an outstanding one-handed grab. “You’re looking sweeeet out here today,” Tashard Choice said. The way Donley has been practicing, it’s all but a slam dunk he’ll play this fall.
Left tackle Andrew Gardner (shoulder) has returned to his spot with the No. 1 offensive line. That means the No. 1 line has everybody back but A.J. Smith (elbow). Jacob Lonowski continues to work at the right tackle spot in his place. Clyde Yandell is now spelling Gardner.
Fullback Mike Cox is with the injured players. He twisted a knee Wednesday afternoon. Tight end Colin Peek (Achilles) and freshman running back Jonathan Dwyer (knee) look like they’ll be back soon.
Add Roddy Jones to the list of players practicing fielding punts. Pat Clark is doing it on the main field, while Tyler Evans and Jones practice on another one.
