JaMarcus Russell signed his contract and began practicing Wednesday - only 48 days later than would have been useful. "The first day back, it feels kind of awkward," Russell said. "He showed up this morning and he didn't have any donuts - he didn't have anything with him," Josh McCown said of the rookie. "But we should be able to get some good meals, if he can afford it." "I'm a ways away," Russell acknowledged. "I have the whole year and the rest of my life - that's what it seems like - to get used to everything."
