The big question: what’s up with Craig Smith?
The initial returns were good: Smith was a full participant in this morning’s practice, wearing his regular jersey.
After practice, Bruce Cassidy sounded an optimistic note:
“He looks a lot better,” said Cassidy in response to a question from Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald. “He made it through the entire practice, did a little work early, so that’s a positive. Tomorrow morning, [we’ll] see if there’s any residual effect. If not, then I assume he’ll be in the lineup.”
