TAMPA — Two potential starters missed practice, but another was back in action.Linebacker Chris Robinson, who had seven sacks last season, and right tackle Walter Walker, one of two returning offensive linemen to start every game in 2006, were out after each sustained a left ankle injury the previous day. Both players wore boots; Robinson walked with crutches.“They’re out for a number of days,” coach Jim Leavitt said. “They’ve got pretty good sprains. We’ll go day to day with them.” Meantime, guard Zach Hermann, who had the flu Thursday, returned. ON HIS OWN: Asked if he had given any advice to first-year Freedom High coach Marquel Blackwell, once a standout quarterback for USF, Leavitt responded: “He doesn’t need any from me. He’s one of the best (players) we’ve ever had around here.”
