Stephen Tsai writes that Leonard Peters has been bothered by a sore ankle throughout most of fall practice, which is worrying the coaches.

"He's not showing what he does on two (healthy) ankles," Glanville said. "What he has done on two good ankles, he's as quick as a hiccup. You can't stop him. On one good ankle, he's just quick. Against Alabama, we need the hiccup."

Let's hope he can recover in time fore the big game. The article quotes Leonard saying that he should practice today.

Now that Amani Purcell has joined the team, he has not only moved up to the top of the depth chart at outside linebacker, he's also getting a lot of work on special teams. This is from the Advertiser article:

But he also practiced at left outside linebacker, and has been assigned to play on four special teams — punt (right guard), kickoff return (wedge), punt return (wedge) and kickoff.

"They're giving me the whole deal," Purcell said. "They're trying to kill me out there on special teams. I guess I have to do what I have to do."

UH needs to improve on special teams from last year, so hopefully Amani can contribute there as well.
