Basically, he skated on his own Wednesday then went out and tried to practice today. It went well and he lasted the whole way. He has a big pad in the skate. The foot wasn't that sore but the pad was uncomfortable and he hopes to get it smaller. He plans to practice a few more times and, barring any setbacks, he'll be ready to play by the middle of next week.
``It was all right. I’ve got a big pad in their right now. I’m hoping to get that a little smaller, kind of work its way down the next couple of days. The top of the skate digs in right where it was fractured. If I can get that part off, it will be pretty good.
``The MRI showed it’s healing. That’s why I was able to skate. There’s little stuff you can take care of as long as it doesn’t swell up again. That was the first time I really skated. I skated a little bit on my own Wednesday.''
