Eifert, who had surgery in May after injuring his right ankle in the Pro Bowl , was on the field running routes and catching passes prior to Sunday's 24-16 loss at Pittsburgh, but he said that wasn't a new step.
“It was good, but we’d been running routes for a couple days, we were just waiting for you guys (media) to leave,” Eifert said. “I ran route a couple days last week and continued to feel good and progressing forward. Pretty soon I’ll be back on the field. Today’s another step in the right direction.”
Today’s practice, which began at 1 p.m., wias Eifert’s first since the week leading up to the wild-card loss to Pittsburgh in January.
