Spring Practice Day 12 Reports

From Stephen Tsai:

Inoke Funaki continues to impress as a running back.
A coach marveled at Funaki's abiity to "get skinny" on rushes, vernacular for being able to run without ever getting hit squarely.

• Slotback Rick Taylor was on crutches with an injury to his right ankle. He will undergo X-rays today.
• Defensive tackle Quentin Beaver did not practice because of strained rotator cuff in hiis right shoulder. He suffered the injury last week, then aggravated it during the past Saturday's scrimmage.

And Jason Kaneshiro:

>> Cornerback Jeramy Bryant was a busy again in today’s practice. He had an interception along the sideline and was involved in two big collisions while closing hard on the ball.

>> Receiver Daniel Lofton made a nice diving catch for the second straight practice.

>> Defensive end John Fonoti showed off his speed and hustle in chasing down receiver Ryan Henry downfield.
