Day 1 Practice 2 update

- WR Marques Colston (knee) returned to practice without a hitch.

- TE Jeremy Shockey spent Thursday afternoon's practice in no pads and was limited. The team practice in shoulder pads and shorts.

- Others to miss practice were TE Eric Johnson (ankle), CB Mike McKenzie (knee), DT Brian Young (knee) and S Josh Bullocks (knee). RB Deuce McAllister (knee) was limited.

- T Jammal Brown was not at the afternoon practice to attend a funeral. Brown should return Friday night, but will miss both Friday sessions. Jermon Bushrod took the snaps with the first team to replace Brown.

- It didn't take long for LB Jonathan Vilma to step in with the first team as he took the majority of the snaps in the middle Thursday afternoon. Mark Simoneau also took some snaps at the weakside as numerous LBs were in and out the lineup.

- With Young out, Hollis Thomas, Antwan Lake and Kendrick Clancy rotated in with the first unit at defensive tackle.

- After making a couple of nice grabs in the A.M., rookie wideout Adrian Arrington displayed the ups and downs of training camp as he bobbled a pass thrown by backup quarterback Mark Brunell allowing rookie linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar intercepted the pass.

- Robert Meachem came away with the play of the practice as he hauled on a deep pass by Brunell with Usama Young draped on his back. It's another positive sign of Meachem's improvement.
