Q: How are you feeling?

A: I’m feeling pretty good.

Q: What happened?

A: Nothing too serious. Just precautions for my hamstring.

Q: Is that from yesterday’s practice?

A: Yeah.

Q: Do you expect to be back later today?

A: I’m going to take it day by day depending on what the trainers tell me to do.

Q: What have you learned from Steve [Smith] and Domenik [Hixon] that has helped your game improve?

A: Just the basics. The concepts to the plays and a lot of information that they give me.

Q: What did you think about that long ball last night – your longest catch of camp?

A: It was a deep throw and it was me one-on-one with the cornerback and I had to make a play.

Q: When you bring the ball in after making that play was there a sense of relief?

A: In my eyes it’s just catching the ball and doing what I’m supposed to be doing.

Q: Is it strange to have to sit out even one practice to watch?

A: To me it is. I like being active and that’s what I came here to do. Right now I’ve just got to take it one step at a time and do what the trainers tell me to do and I’ll be back
