"We'll be able to have that conversation and figure out if he's going to go or not this week,"
"If it's not this week, I know he's getting really, really close."
"I've got to have confidence in myself mentally [and] physically. I know I've got to be there all the way. You don't want to put yourself in a worse position, where you are kind of half-stepping. When I have that confidence and know that I'm ready to rock, I'll be out there for sure."
Harrison Smith practiced Saturday for the first time since a personal health issue sidelined him on Aug. 11 but is listed as doubtful and likely needs more practice and conditioning before playing Monday night. If Smith does not play, fourth-year safety Theo Jackson is expected to replace him. Christian Darrisaw fully participated in Saturday practice while continuing his recovery from last season's torn ACL and MCL but is listed as questionable after being held out of a key Thursday practice. Coach Kevin O'Connell said Darrisaw is close to playing but made no firm prediction. Darrisaw emphasized needing full mental and physical confidence before returning.
