Echols (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Scouting Report
The slim but speedy cornerback has the frame, leaping ability and ball skills to challenge throws as long as he is in good position. He shows flashes of ball-hawking ability (he ran back a pick-six as an NFL rookie). However, his slender body can make him vulnerable to being exploited by big wide receivers and pushed around in run support.
Long Range Potential: Speedy depth cornerback.
