Louisiana defensive ends Tony Hills and Rodney Hardeway were back on the practice field Saturday, having completed a one-week squad suspension which carried over from spring practice. Coach Ricky Bustle had suspended the pair for an unspecified violation of team policies.

Hills, a senior from Carrollton, Texas, and Hardeway, a junior from Tyler, Texas, are required by NCAA rules to go through the same "acclimation" period as the rest of the squad did during the first week of camp. Both have two days in shorts only and two days in limited-contact shoulder pads and shorts before they can don full gear next Wednesday.

HURTS: Senior linebacker Wes Simon of Crowley took a hit during middle drill and was visibly shaken. He was held out of the remainder of Saturday's workouts and saw a doctor between practices. Junior guard Lanier Coleman of New Orleans injured his left leg in position drills and was limited the rest of the morning practice.
