Monday Practice Notes

Posted Aug 22, 2005

It didn't take Matt Baker long to start picking on the new guy. And it didn't take Jacoby Watkins long to make him pay. After sitting out most of the first week of training camp, Watkins is slowly working his way back into the rotation after a bout with a vertigo-like illness. The junior cornerback was able to participate in some drills on Sunday and then went through most sessions of practice other than the team periods on Monday morning. (Tar Heel Blue)
