The Facts:
Culpepper has received medical clearance to practice when the team opens training camp Saturday, Nick Saban said Wednesday. "Daunte will do the same thing in this camp as every other player relative to the workload he is able to manage," the coach said. "We'll try to manage with him as we go through this. We don't hit the QB anyway (in practice), so contact is not an issue."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Saban wouldn't say whether he believes Culpepper will be ready for the Sept. 7 regular-season opener against Pittsburgh or how much he will play during pre-season games. Still, it's clear Culpepper is well ahead of schedule in his recovery from reconstructive knee surgery required after tearing three ligaments last October while playing for the Vikings. This news is another step in the right direction.
