AUBURN – Auburn quarterback Clint Moseley was back throwing at practice, but Cody Parkey wasn’t kicking.
Moseley, who’s locked in a battle with Kiehl Frazier for the top quarterback spot this spring, threw during the Tigers’ eighth spring practice Wednesday morning.
During the open media viewing period at the beginning of practice, Moseley was seen warming up and throwing to different routes, including 15- to 20-yard out and post routes.
Moseley has been battling soreness in the rotator cuff of his throwing shoulder and was held out of Saturday’s scrimmage. He’s been limited in a handful of practices this spring.
Auburn head coach Gene Chizik said that they’re “weaning” the junior quarterback into more tosses each practice.
“Clint played a little bit more today,” Chizik said. “His shoulder, he’s getting a lot of treatment with it. I think his shoulder is getting better day by day.”
Parkey, Auburn’s field goal kicker, however, didn’t get any reps in the open viewing period when the Tigers practiced field goals.
Walk-on Alex Kviklys took all the kicks during the open portion of practice with Parkey standing behind him watching.
Chizik said keeping Parkey, who kicked in every game last season as a sophomore, making 13-of-18 field goals, was out as a precaution.
“Our kicker is a little dinged up right now,” Chizik said. “He’s got a little muscle pull here and we don’t want to risk anything. It’s early in the morning and it’s wet out there, too, so we haven’t used him recently.”
Also on the injury report is sophomore linebacker Jawara White, who wasn’t at practice Wednesday. The status of the linebacker from Troy, who moved to the middle this spring, is unknown.
Chizik said White was a “little beat up, banged up” and that they’ll know his status “more as we move forward.”
When asked about White on Wednesday after practice, linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen said, “… it’s just a tragedy. His circumstances just happened recently.”
Therezie climbing the ladder: Robenson Therezie was a hot name after Wednesday’s practice for an interception he made during red zone drills.
“They tried to throw a corner route behind him,” said defensive back T’Sharvan Bell, who is limited this spring while recovering from a torn ACL. “Instead of backing up, he just went up and got it. It was crazy.
“Vertical. His vertical’s sick. One hand.”
Secondary coach Willie Martinez, who called the pick “unbelievable,” said that Therezie has been coming along during spring practice.
“He’s doing good. He’s doing good,” Martinez said. “You can see the eighth practice here, you can see him feeling more comfortable in what he’s supposed to do. He made a couple of plays, which was very encouraging, with the ball in the air.”
Bell agreed with Martinez’s assessment.
“He’s come a long way from where he was last year. It’s not even close right now,” Bell said of his teammate, who played in 12 games last year as a true freshman. “But he has to know that he still has a long way to go. He knows that, it’s just as far as how he’s going to get there. It’s a process.”
Bell making strides: Five months after tearing his ACL in the game against Georgia last November, Bell has been able to participate some in spring drills.
While he’s not ready for a full practice or contact just yet, the senior defensive back did surprise himself with the speed of his recovery.
“(It’s taken) a lot of prayer and a lot of hard work, but definitely surprised myself,” Bell said. “But I’m not satisfied. I want to keep going. I want to be better than I was when I was healthy. So that’s the goal for me.”
Bell said it’s been good for him to get out there some this spring and mix it up with his fellow DBs and his new secondary coach.
“It’s helped a lot. At first, they were telling me, ‘We want you to kind of stay out of it, you know, just watch,’” Bell said. “But they’ve kind of given me a little freedom to do some drills. Being around the guys has helped me a lot. That way I can coach them up and also learn myself. So it’s been good for me.”
LB Garrett pushing for spot: Thigpen said he’s been impressed with the play of sophomore linebacker Justin Garrett so far this spring.
Garrett — at 6-foot-1, 206 pounds — is playing behind senior Daren Bates at weakside linebacker, but Thigpen said it’s a fierce battle.
“To me, Justin is, he’s pushing Daren, a lot,” the linebackers coach said. “They’re the same type of player. Daren’s got two or three years on him as far as playing experience, but they’re the same kind of guy. They’re both fast, they’ve both got unlimited range.
“I like the competition between them at that position. That's probably one of the better positions for somebody to compete for a starting job.”
