The receivers and cornerbacks went back and forth during today's morning practice session.

The receivers got the upper hand first during one-on-one drills. Rookie Yamon Figurs torched Willie Gaston, Devard Darling beat Evan Oglesby, and rookie Leo Bookman schooled Jamaine Winborne on 40-yard touchdown passes.

The momentum shifted to the secondary during 11-on-11 and seven-on-seven drills. Winborne, Derrick Martin, Bobby Blackshire and Terrell Maze knocked down passes to tight end Quinn Sypniewski, and receivers Matt Willis, Darling and Mark Clayton, respectively.

INJURY REPORT: Tight end Daniel Wilcox missed practice with a sprained left ankle, and coach Brian Billick said the team is being cautious with Wilcox. Safety Ed Reed (ankle) and cornerback Samari Rolle (head) returned to practice. Defensive tackle Kelly Gregg (thigh) took part in individual drills.

CONDITIONING CONTINUES: The players are relentless about staying in shape. Running back Willis McGahee knocked out some push-ups during the seven-on-seven drill. After practice, Clayton, Derrick Mason, Demetrius Williams and Dawan Landry ran wind sprints from sideline to sideline.

KOCH IS COOKING: After fumbling the first snap, punter Sam Koch snapped off at least three punts of 50 yards and a 48-yarder.

STUDY HALL: Fans need to study their rosters a little bit harder. One fan called out to defensive tackle Haloti Ngata by yelling, "N-A-G-A-T-A!" (The "g" is silent.) And a score of fans screamed "REED!" at a player wearing a skullcap on the practice field. That player was Mason.
