James Southerland is practicing, but there is no indication that there is a decision in his appeals case yet.

Doesn't mean anything. He's been practicing right along.

sounds promising. or nothing.

at least it doesnt sound bad.

I would not take Southerland's appearance at practice as either good or bad sign. It appears that there's no decision yet.

He can practice until they tell him he can't.

 

[AZOrange]

Wait he got a haircut?!? Riveting...

 

[Orangeyes]

Did he crack a smile? Does he look confident?

 

[moqui]

he has been practicing all along, but the fact that he is there tonight means that they didn't make a quick "no soup for you" decision this afternoon.

someone says he had UK shaved into his neckline

wow, that guy who tweeted at him is an embarrassment.

If he was deemed ineligible, would he be practicing?

According to sources, James was seen in a long embrace with one of the walk-ons outside the locker room before practice!

That's the one aspect of him still practicing that I could see being potentially relevant.

In the wake of the Fine fiasco, I wish he didn't do that.

I don't think that's James' real handle.

"James was seen in a long embrace with one of the walk-ons outside the locker room before practice!"

Looks like that haircut was a success.

Highly Unlikely! Unless they have another appeal option...Probably no decision yet

In the wake of the Fine fiasco, I wish he didn't do that.

In wake of the Springfield incident, I also hope he doesn't do it inside the lockerroom.

It's not.

Helps the other players with another body there, regardless the outcome of the appeal.
