Linebacker Michael Boley returned to the field yesterday after missing a week of practice with a hamstring injury. He is not 100 percent, but felt good enough to work.

"Still got a little ways to go," said Boley, who missed 2½ games last season with a pulled hamstring. "Just come in everyday and continue with my treatment and still try to get better. It's a process. You can't just jump all the way back in it. You got to ease your way back into it. You don't want to overdo it on your first day back."

Asked if he would sit out the game in Jacksonville, Boley said, "I'm not looking forward to that, but we'll see. We'll see how the rest of this week goes leading up to Friday."
