Illinois wide receiver Darius Millines woke up Monday morning with stomach pains -- not the ideal start to training camp.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound junior was hoping to make a big return after missing some of the offseason with a fracture in his left foot, "a minor setback for a major comeback," he said.

His first day back included throwing up, but he made it to the Camp Rantoul field to practice under sunny skies and with music blaring from speakers overhead, an addition by new coach Tim Beckman.
