Hammond (knee) was spotted throwing on the first day of camp Wednesday but was also sporting a brace on his repaired knee, according to Jarret Johnson of 247Sports.
Analysis:Hammond is coming off a torn ACL, so he's clearly trending in the right direction, but seeing him with a brace on his knee suggests he might not be fully recovered. Hammond is still expected to be available for the season opener against Abilene Christian on Sep. 5, but his progression in the coming weeks will determine just how ready he is for the campaign opener.
