The Facts:
Steve Mariucci planned to have Rogers forgoe his red jersey and participate in the last three days of mini-camp wearing blue, like the rest of the players on offense. Rogers has been wearing a red jersey in all mini-camp practices as a signal to defensive players Rogers, a third-year receiver, is off-limits to all contact while recovering from a broken right collarbone. Return specialist Eddie Drummond, who is recovering from a broken right shoulder blade, also will exchange a red jersey for blue.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Players do not wear pads and there is no hitting in minicamps. Red jerseys are a signal to take extra caution in defending players returning from an injury. It's an important step for Rogers, who has said often he hoped he would be cleared to wear blue. If nothing else, Rogers won't have to start training camp in July wondering about his collarbone.
