BCS National Championship: Nate Costa takes the field

That's Nate Costa, in the red, on the far right.



Oregon quarterback Nate Costa, out since suffering the third major knee injury of his career against Washington on Nov. 6, suited up for Monday's first practice at Pinnacle High School in Phoenix.

Because the practice was closed to the media, it isn't known exactly how much Costa participated, but he was in pads, with his red no-contact jersey and the new yellow "blur'' shoes - although he still walks with a pronounced limp.

A UO spokesman said Costa has not been cleared to play and when asked whether he took any snaps or practiced at all, the spokesman said, "No.''

Since Costa's most recent injury, on a botched field goal attempt against the Huskies, he has had surgery and has remained a team leader and inspiration, although this is believed to be the first time he has suited up since.

Nate is such a great kid and we all wish him well!!!
