"Luke Del Rio, he'll go some today, more tomorrow and Wednesday, and we'll see exactly where and how much that swells, where the pain is and where the stability is," McElwain said. "He'll get some reps with the ones, obviously Austin (Appleby) will and that will be something we'll decide later in the week.

"This is something I know Luke had been targeting a little bit, so his mindset is he's going to play. That's good. That's what you want, but know this: I won't put him out there (if he's not ready)."
