Ebullient cornerback Richard Taylor was back at practice this morning, clearly glad to finally be in camp.
He's still rehabbing a partially torn ACL suffered in the spring, and he wound up back with the Terps since they did not replace linebacker Brian Dickerson when he quit the team last week. Teams can have 105 players in camp before classes begin.
He was running under the guidance of an athletic trainer, who will eventually give a go-ahead for Taylor to begin some basic drills. A doctor's OK is needed before he does anything too competitive.
"The doctors don't think he'll be cleared until Sept. 1," coach Ralph Friedgen said. "My agreement with Richard is he doesn't try to push it. I worry about that a little bit with him. I thought from a mental standpoint as far as preparing, it would expedite that. When he's physically ready, it would help him to be mentally ready, too."
