Post-practice update

Cornerback Antoine Winfield (hamstring) and wide receiver Bobby Wade (knee) did not participate in practice, coach Brad Childress reported, and wide receiver Troy Williamson missed his second straight day because of a funeral.

Childress said he wasn't sure when Williamson might return and his status for Sunday's game against San Diego hasn't been decided.

"I want to talk to him, see what frame (of mind) or state he's in," Childress said. "It wouldn't be because he doesn't understand what's going on with the game plan."

Childress said that last part also goes for Wade, who suffered a hyperextended left knee in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

"We just thought it would be better to have him in there as opposed to letting that thing swell," Childress said. "He reports to me that he feels much improved as well so he's not missing anything by missing the turns."

Childress said Winfield told him this morning that he feels much improved, adding: "He was able, I can report, that he got more treats than tricks last night. His children, he was able to get out and trick or treat so he is mobile."

Quarterback Kelly Holcomb (neck) also did not participate in practice.
