Florida State football practice report: 10/2

The Florida State Seminoles took the the practice fields Thursday afternoon to finish up preparation for their game against visiting Wake Forest.

It was a hot one.

Derrick Mitchell, who missed Monday and Tuesday's practices due to a family member's funeral, was back at practice Thursday in pads, however he was not participating and spent some time on the stationary bike.

Jacob Pugh wore a blue no-contact jersey. He had not worn one Monday and Tuesday. Mario Edwards Jr. and Marios Pender, who have been wearing blue after returning from concussions suffered against Clemson, were without no-contact jerseys and fully participating.

Markus Eligwe was a part of kick coverage on Thursday, further hinting that he will be playing on Saturday. Eligwe seemed fired up and ready to play, hyping his teammates up as they took the practice fields. He will be a nice boost for the FSU defense.

Chris Casher, who was in pads Tuesday but reportedly limited, was again in pads on Thursday and participating in drills.

Jimbo Fisher will speak with the media following Thursday's practice.
