Jeff Fisher Quotes

(on how Damian Williams did today)

Yeah, he did (well).  We anticipated that though, he had a couple good days of rehab and we worked him back into some things.  Hopefully we'll continue to allow him to progress and he has a chance to play this weekend.

(on if they're going to keep an eye on Williams tomorrow)

Yeah, (we will) but he took a big step today, feels good and no setbacks—the same thing with Nick (Schommer) too.  So that worked out well, both of them have a chance to play this weekend.

(on if he's disappointed about William Hayes)

Actually, I'm not.  I'm not disappointed because we kind of feared the worst yesterday as far as the mechanism and everything, so we were excited to hear the good news.  It might be a couple weeks, but when you consider that when you have that kind of injury on the practice field and upon immediate examination (the fear) is that you have an ACL involved.  With a mild MCL sprain, they'll keep him off a couple weeks and that's good news.

(on how the offense performed today)

I thought they had a really good day today.  We came out this morning and had a special teams practice and it was hot.  For them to work through this today, I was especially proud of them.  We're going to go ahead and keep them inside tomorrow because we don't need to wear ourselves out when they get ready to play a game and they've done a great job in the heat.  So we'll go inside at normal time tomorrow.
