For the second day in a row, absences were the big story for Syracuse at preseason camp. Kyle Knapp, an offensive tackle, was not at practice Tuesday, and defensive end Tyler Marona was missing for the second day in a row as well.
Knapp, arguably the sixth-best offensive lineman for Syracuse after the established first five, represents a big loss if he is hurt. He was cross-training at both tackle and guard to be a utility man for offensive line coach Pat Perles.
Offensive guard Rob Trudo, who was in shorts and a T-shirt at practice Monday, was back in pads Tuesday. His participation, though, was limited, and Omari Palmer continued to take reps with the first team.
Josh Kirkland remained in shorts and a T-shirt on Tuesday with what appears to be a lower-body injury. He was walking with a bit of a limp on the practice field.
Quinta Funderburk, absent from Monday's practice, was back on the field in full pads.
