Ok, so while I expected to see Gholston on the practice field, I actually didn't. No one did. Here's the deal: the word is the contract is done but all contracts must be submitted to and approved by the NFL Management Council. That can take some time, but we're hanging out at Hofstra because Gholston is expected to address the media when the deal is officially approved.
I have newspaper material to write for tomorrow so I have to do that before a more extensive afternoon practice report. But here's something: in the quarterback race, Day 1 goes to Pennington. Clemens threw another interception this afternoon, this time when Darrelle Revis stepped in front of Brad Smith on an underthrown pass. Pennington threw a couple of nice deep balls, one of which was a 25-yarder in the seam to a wide open Dustin Keller. The other came on one of the final plays of the day, a 40-yarder down the right sideline that David Clowney - who had a nice day overall - dived for and caught at the goal line, with James Ihedigbo and Dwight Lowery in coverage. But as he turned on the ground the ball popped free and Lowery recovered. Still a remarkable catch. Ok, back with more after some other duties.

Erik, Yes that was a great catch by Clowney. The WR spots are going to be crowded at that #4 and #5 spot. Stuckey if healthy is a lock for that #3 spot and he showed why tonight. Henry,Clowney,Smith and Wright will battle for those 2 last spots with Paul Raymond a wildcard who will probably make the practice squad. Leon looked explosive also. Bowens made a nice play deflecting a pass. Right now Chad is a slight edge over Kellen at this point after day 1.
