LB Hartsfield may play with broken hand

Maryland is looking at playing linebacker Demetrius Hartsfield on Saturday with a broken hand. Hartsfield would have the hand encased in a club-like wrap or cast.

Hartsfield suffered the injury last week at Wake Forest.

"If he starts favoring it and can't tackle, then I’ll get another guy in there," coach Friedgen said today. "I am a little concerned about it. He's basically playing with one hand."

Also: Defensive tackle Joe Vellano (stress fracture) has been practicing "at full speed," the coach said.
