Word from Bill Lynch's weekly address to the media today is that Kellen Lewis is questionable for Saturday's game at Illinois.
Lewis has a high-ankle sprain and Lynch said he will be in a boot for today's practice.
Q: How's Kellen doing?
Lynch: Hurting. He is questionable is what he is. It's a high-ankle sprain, so we are hoping by the end of the week he can get back out there. He is going to be in a boot today. We'll have to see tomorrow where he is.
But it was the same way as last Saturday, he came out and we knew he was hurting. We went through halftime and got him re-taped and all of that and thought maybe it would loosen up and we could get him going in the second half and it just never really did.
Some athletes bounce back pretty quick -- he really hasn't been hurt much so we really haven't been through this in terms of of how quickly he can bounce back. We are certainly hopeful that a guy like that can bounce back, certainly quicker than our 300-pound guys.
But if you come out to practice today, he is going to be in a boot, so it is clear he has a way to go.
