The Facts: Surprisingly, Lynch practiced today. He usually takes Wednesdays off to rest his back but was a full participant coming off the bye week.

Diehards Line: Backup TE Tony Moeaki was a surprise entry on the injury report Wednesday with a calf injury. CB Bryan Maxwell also didn't practice because of an illness. Three players who didn't play in the regular-season finale -- WR Jermaine Kearse (hamstring), CB Tharold Simon (dislocated shoulder) and TE Cooper Helfet (ribs) -- were full participants. So were two players who have been out for several weeks -- starting center Max Unger (ankle/knee) and defensive linemen Demarcus Dobbs (ankle).
