Early practice report

Defensive tackle Pat Williams was conspicuously missing for the start of today's practice.

We're not sure of the exact nature of the injury, but check back later for an update.

Linebacker Vinny Ciurciu (ankle) was the only other player not participating.

Cornerback Antoine Winfield, wide receiver Sidney Rice and linebacker Dontarrious Thomas returned to practice after being inactive for Sunday night's loss to Washington.
