Augie at Practice?

[InRightField]

I know practice is starting in less than a week. Will Augie be able to participate? The news reports didn't specify if he would be held out of practice until the four game suspension is served. Anybody know the answer?

Actually, P/C, my understanding of the suspension is that Augie is apart from the team until after the first 4 games. That may be wrong (and I have NO idea about how that would affect Thursday), but it seems to be reinforced by Augie's comments at the press conference:

OB, you may very well be right, but I can read that statement to mean a lot of different things.

If he was not allowed at practice, I got to believe they would have announced that. It would have toughened up the penalty that Kirk Bohls and others have complained was too lenient. I think that if he is not physically at practices, he will still be running the show from a distance. At least, I sure hope he is.

I thought I read that he could participate in practices, but not the games themselves.

I could, however, be wrong.

So pretty much business as usual.

 

[Orangeblood]

Yep, I was wrong. Which doesn't bother me in the least.

Great news! Thanks for the info.

Glad that he's at practice.
