My first couple years were rough, but about two, three years into it, I start- ed to blossom and I was happy he could see me actu- ally be something. "I wish he could see me now." Knauf expects to play Saturday after missing last week's game while undergoing tests for a potential hip injury. The MRI was negative, and Knauf has been cleared to play as long as he can tolerate the pain. Knauf said he had some fluid be - tween his hip and a muscle that was causing irritation. Last season, Knauf played with a torn adductor mus- cle all season. "I feel good," he said after Wednes- day's practice. "I'm a little sore in my hip and other areas, too, but it's my body. It's usually worse. So right now I'm feel- ing pretty confident I'll be able to play this week."
