The Facts:
The team announced last Friday that TE Brandon Manumaleuna and WR Earl Bennett underwent minor offseason knee operations, which kept Manumaleuna from participating in the workout and limited Bennett. "Don't have a timetable [on Manumaleuna's return] per se, again we've got OTAs coming up," HC Lovie Smith said. "It's just a little minor scope with him. Hopefully we can get some of those guys, Earl Bennett and players like that, back before long."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With Manumaleuna sidelined, Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark both took reps with the first team at tight end Friday morning. Bennett sounded optimistic that he would soon be cleared for full participation. "[I'll be back] pretty soon," Bennett said. "I'm working my way back running routes, getting into the swing of things and getting back into that huddle. I think things are coming along pretty well. ..." In case you missed it, new OC Mike Martz indicated that Devin Hester and Johnny Knox will be his starting receivers with Devin Aromashodu and Bennett also playing contributing roles.
