Crumpler encouraged after drills

Posted Jul 29, 2006

Falcons tight end Alge Crumpler arrived at the team's season-opening practice Thursday unsure when, or if, he'll be able to return to being the Pro Bowl performer who is such a vital part of the team's offense. The Falcons' leading receiver the past two seasons hadn't really tested his surgically repaired knee and shoulder — especially the shoulder — even though he had made it through most rehabilitative drills at Flowery Branch, then for six weeks in Arizona.
