Ryan Wendell has missed the last four practices with a mysterious illness. Catching up with him in the locker room today, the offensive lineman didn't shed much light on what was keeping him off the field, but that it was necessary.
“I know it’s vague. Illness is a good way to describe it," he said. "I wasn’t able to do my job. I needed some time to get healthy.”
Wendell, one of the team captains, didn't say if he was any closer to making a return, although it's unlikely he'll be out on the field Sunday against the Jaguars.
