Three Bulldogs return to practice field

STARKVILLE, Miss.

They previously wore red-cross jerseys, signifying injury.<br> <br> O&#39;Neal is recovering from off-season knee surgery. Wilson had minor knee surgery during the summer. Bowser injured a hamstring last week during practice.<br> <br> Coach Sylvester Croom is upset about injuries to his receivers and to his offensive tackles.<br> <br> ``We&#39;re missing too many assignments and, even though he was better today, Calvin is still not completely healthy,&#39;&#39; Croom said. ``And injury at wide receiver has slowed us down. The pace of work is more than what some of them have been used to. And we can&#39;t feel sorry for ourselves there.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Three injured players are being held out of practice: receiver Will Prosser, who is recovering from foot surgery; tight end-fullback Dezmond Sherrod, who has a hip flexor; and offensive guard Anthony Dunning, who hurt a shoulder last week.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
