Made sure I was early for this week's teleconference with Randy Edsall. I joined 4 minutes late last week, and missed the entire call. Lasted a shade under 10 minutes today, with some good info provided by the coach.

Edsall quote: "The status of the offensive line is the same as last week."
Chip's loose translation: "Mike Hicks and Alex LaMagdelaine will start. Dan Ryan will not."

No one was injured during practice during the week.

Ryan Henegan is getting better each week, and can play if there's an emergency. He's also listed as a backup on special teams. Lawrence Wilson is still the starter. Edsall says he's had some good conversations with Henegan this week about where he is physically, and he's getting closer. It's been over a month since the injury to Henegan's knee, and it will take some time before he's into game shape and the knee is at full strength.

Ellis Gaulden is a possibility to play. He made the trip to Pittsburgh last week, so we could see No. 87 in there against Akron.

Lawrence Green is still out. He's meeting with a team doctor today, and Edsall expects to know more about his situation next week.

There are several thousand tickets still available for the game Saturday.

Picks coming later today.
