I think AJ's worked hard, he's ready to get back to work, and hopefully we'll get the work in the rest of this week.

We're going to hold him today so you can, everybody can relax, okay?

You don't need to be on Adrian Watch. I'll give you a scoop there.

I do expect him to practice some time this week.

Do you expect him to practice the rest of this week.

If he feels good enough to go and we judge him good to go by our eyes, then he'll be good to go.
