McAlister passes physical, begins practicing

Veteran cornerback Chris McAlister passed his physical and began practicing with the team this morning.

McAlister has some progress to make before he returns to his old form. He took limited repetitions and only two snaps during the initial seven-on-seven period.

McAlister, who had offseason knee surgery, was comfortable dropping back, but wasn't easily making cuts or coming back to the ball. He had a noticeable limp after some plays and at other times walked gingerly.

How can he pass a physical and still end up limping after a play?
