Chris Petersen says Hau’oli Kikaha practiced this week; Dexter Charles also back ‘in the mix’

A few quick injury updates: Petersen said offensive guard Dexter Charles will be “in the mix” after missing the last three games with a foot injury, and that right tackle Ben Riva practiced some this week, too (though his status is unclear). Hau’oli Kikaha also practiced this week “and all those things,” Petersen said, adding that “we’ll see” how he feels come Saturday.

Here’s everything else he said.

(On road success) “To me, and to us, I kind of hope they are all the same in terms of our preparation. For whatever reason I think a lot of teams in the league have had success on the road. I don’t know what that’s attributed to, I really don’t.”

(How has the offense been with Shaq back at LB?) “We’ll see what we do with Shaq. We’ve always got him a package, always have him ready to roll. Working hard, we’ll see.”

(Things settled a little bit more on D with him back?) “I always say we’ve got to play the games to figure that out. Practice is one thing; Shaq’s a calming influence over there, no question.”

(John Ross progressing?) “It’s so new, there’s a lot of work to be done and a lot of progression to be made. All those guys are working real hard.”
