First day of camp is here!!

Anyone going to practice this morning? (If so, you are probably already there.) ItB.com will be there on Sunday morning, hopefully filing a first-hand report by Sunday night. I know several of you may also be there for Saturday morning as well... please post your initial 2009 impressions here!

Some player tweets on the eve of camp:

Brandon Harrison:

I'm told Owen Daniels is on the field. No sign of Cushing though.

Dunta was a predictable no-show:

I have two tickets available for Sat. morning, if you can pick them up today near 290 and Hollister area.

Just listening to 610 during practice, sounded like Schaub and Orlovsky were throwing good, Andre Johnson, Andre Davis and Jacoby Jones and Owen Daniels were catching well, and Slayton was running well. Sounded like one RB was injured, I think Clifton Dawson, not sure of that name. Couldn't listen too long.

Report from the chron:

Quote:

Dawson injured: Running back Clifton Dawson left Friday’s morning session early with an apparent leg sprain. Coach Gary Kubiak said the team's medical staff will evaluate Dawson. -- JOSEPH DUARTE
Tribute to Elway: Texans backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky will wear No. 7 for the Texans because of his admiration for John Elway. He wore No. 6 for his first four NFL seasons in Detroit because the No. 7 was retired in honor of Dutch Clark. - JORDAN GODWIN

Not much else of interest in there, but given we're starved for news on the first day, thought I would pass the link along.

Lopez on 790AM reported that there was a whole different atmosphere at the first morning practice. Sounds like lots of optimism among fans and players....

Cushing agent Conlan, is busy with his other clients picked before Cushing, so it may be mid to end of week next getting him signed. Too bad, rookies need TC.

Update - glad to hear Cushing has signed.
