What happened: Rick Stroud said Wednesday that Emeka Egbuka worked with trainers on a side field after missing time with a toe sprain. A specialist confirmed Aug. 14 that the sprain was stable.
Why it matters: The workout advances Egbuka toward game-week participation after he sat out the preseason. His availability will shape his role entering his second NFL season.
By the numbers: The toe issue interrupted practice Aug. 12; side-field work followed 21 days later.
What to watch: His practice participation and final injury designation will clarify whether he plays Sept. 13.
