In a bit of surprise, wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt were back at practice Monday and fully involved in the drills. Bruce has been nursing a sore hamstring; Holt hadn't been on the field since injuring his sternum Aug. 19 vs. Houston.
Linehan said that both "could be available" for Thursday's game, but added, "We haven't decided what we're going to do with our first units in all phases."
Bruce "is still not turning it over full-speed, which is OK," Linehan said. "But at some point we're going to have to get him to test that and make sure he feels 100 percent."
Holt had an MRI on Monday afternoon, which showed nothing more serious than a bruise.
Also, fullback Madison Hedgecock (ankle) practiced for the first time in more than a week, although his work was limited. Fullback Paul Smith (calf) suited up but only took a rep or two. Nose tackle Jimmy Kennedy (ankle) remained on the sideline.
