The Detroit Pistons' Brandon Jennings took part in full-court practice Wednesday for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles tendon in January.

Jennings ran 10-minute, 4-on-4 drills and remains on track for a December return to game action, coach Stan Van Gundy told reporters. The timetable for the 26-year-old has more or less held firm to estimates, as he's been building back strength in his leg.

With the one-time lead guard on the shelf, Reggie Jackson has ensconced himself as the starting point, averaging 20.6 points and 5.6 assists this season. The pair have yet to play together as Jackson was acquired after Jennings went down last season.
