Post-practice update

* Not much to report as it was a lighter workout in brutal sun, in just shorts and helmets.

* Quarterback Kevin Prince remains in a red jersey, and the UCLA staff is taking it slow with him. He's doing more and more work by the day.

* Jordan Zumwalt missed practice with a minor groin injury, but Neuheisel was cautiously optimistic about his return for the scrimmage on Saturday. No, his absence had nothing to do with the flare-ups at practice yesterday, Neuheisel said.

* Josh Smith, Cory Harkey and Patrick Larimore are all back, though Larimore is a bit limited. Smith looked really good and is running well.

* Stan McKay remained in red jersey, but will be full-go for the afternoon practice, but Morrell Presley is a day behind and might be in a red jersey tonight.

* Freshman OL Chris Ward is getting more and more work, and he's doing well. Very big kid - told me today he was 6-5, 318 - and he has impressive technique. He should crack the two-deep, depending on Jeff Baca's eligibility.
