Afternoon Update

Dallas Sartz broke out in hives and had a bad allergic reaction to some ointment on a band-aid, and missed practice because of that. Not expected to be out long.

Dee Brown was excused from practice for personal reasons.

Clinton Portis says he is shooting for a Sept. 9 return (big shocker there).

Jordan Palmer says - fingers crossed - he is optimisctic about getting his first preseason work this Saturday with
Jason Campbell all but certain to miss.

LB Randall Godfrey will be brought along slowly after missing so much time and could see a very limited role Saturday, Gregg Williams said, but they will take it day by day. Khary Campbell has been working on the strong side most of camp and seems likely to get the start there with Marcus Washington out.
