Shaun O'Hara, Steve Smith and David Diehl all absent from practice

 Diehl (hip/hamstring) was certainly expected; Smith (pectoral) and O'Hara (foot) perhaps less so. But Smith, who was injured in Thursday's practice, seems less and less likely to play Sunday.

Kevin Boothe was in at left guard, between Shawn Andrews and Rich Seubert; rookie Mitch Petrus was working as the backup.

More after practice.
