IMO....way too many on limited duty!
QB Tarvaris Jackson- not there (family matter)
DE Cliff Avril- not there (honeymoon)
RB Marshawn Lynch- not there (MIA)
DL Cassius Marsh- not there (school in session)
NT Andru Pulu- not there (school in session)
SS Kam Chancellor- not there (hip surgery)
OLB Malcolm Smith- there but did not practice (ankle surgery)
LT Russell Okung- there but did not practice (toe surgery)
QB Keith Price- there but did not practice (pulled groin)
Jesse Williams- there but did not practice (lacerated foot)
CB Tharold Simon- there but did not practice (foot issue)
LB Heath Farwell- didn’t participate in team drills but did run routes (knee)
WR Paul Richardson- didn’t participate in team drills but did run routes (shoulder bruise)
WR Sidney Rice- didn’t participate in team drills but did run routes (ACL surgery)
That's really not too bad at all for Stage III. Jackson, Avril, Lynch, Marsh, and Pulu are presumably all healthy.
Chancellor, Smith, and Okung have all had successful surgeries to take care of preexisting issues that they played through last season; all three are expected back by the start of camp, which is great news if true. Rice seems way ahead of his recovery if he's already running routes at OTAs. And Williams and Simon are expected back before the end of OTAs.
