Anderson, Mason do not practice

Wide receiver Derrick Mason (dislocated left shoulder) and offensive tackle Willie Anderson (sprained left ankle) did not participate in the portion of practice open to the media this morning. Mason wore sweats and watched from the sidelines of the team's indoor field, while Anderson did not make an appearance.

Wide receiver Terrance Copper (shoulder) participated, but he wore a red, non-contact jersey. Fullback Le'Ron McClain's left ankle was heavily taped, and wide receiver Yamon Figurs' left knee was wrapped.

Because of the injuries to Mason and Copper, the offense's three-receiver set featured Mark Clayton, Figurs and rookie Marcus Smith. Smith has been inactive in seven of the team's nine games this season.

I'm excited to see what Marcus Smith can do. With or without Mason this weekend, I hope Smith sees the field and a few opportunities. He's a big strong wideout that turned heads in the preseason, but got lost in the depth chart this season. Especially with Williams going down, I hope Smith gets a chance to contribute.
