After a two-week hiatus for final exams and then spring break, the Oregon football team resumes its spring practice schedule Tuesday morning.
For Keith Simms, the break must have been excruciating, given his high-level play in the five practices held in March. Then again, Simms has been deprived of the game before, and not by choice. A yearlong absence due to knee surgery in 2017 gave him a new perspective on the game of football, and taught him to appreciate and take advantage of opportunities.
Simms certainly did so in March. He'll look to pick back up where he left off Tuesday, when the Ducks continue building toward the Spring Game, to be held April 21.
