Tim Beckman talks Nathan Scheelhaase

Q: Can you just update us on Nate, how he did today?

TB: Practiced today. So we'll see how he responds. But he's out there practicing.

Q: You feel more positive today?

TB: Oh yeah he's much better than he was yesterday.

Q: Would you give him a percentage on his speed, 90%..?

TB: Naw..he practiced today.

Q: How did he say he felt afterwards?

TB: Said he felt pretty good. I think that anytime you have an injury to the ankle then it's just going to progress. It's been progressing and we'll have to make that decision on Thursday after practice.

Q: What are the things today that he couldn't do?

TB: I'm not going to answer anymore questions on Nate. Nate practiced today. If you want to ask me questions about the University of Illinois football team I'd be happy to, but Nate practiced today.
