Prater (right calf) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Scouting Report
A superb technician. Generates tremendous power and accuracy for a man his size. Almost an automatic from all ranges and under any circumstances. Very thin frame, even for a place-kicker. He often needs to put all his weight behind every kick, and must prove he can be more consistent from season to season.
Long Range Potential: Solid veteran kicker.
