With Demetrius Bell still sidelined, Meredith is taking the all of the first-team reps at left tackle in practices, and that may not be such a bad thing. In 2009, ...
With Donovan McNabb now donning a red and gold jersey, Jimmy Clausen no longer seems like a possibility at No. 4 overall in the upcoming draft.
