Monday Football Press Conference Interviews, October 24

Posted Oct 24, 2011
Opening comments: “First of all, let’s talk about injuries. Going back a little bit, Curtis Byrd’s sprained knee – our sports medicine staff is going to have him basically in rehab mode trying to see how that knee is. I don’t expect him to be available this week, but what we’ll do is we’ll take him through rehab and see how it goes. Matt Merletti is done for the year. A sprain of the MCL and ACL."
