Coach Holmgren Misses Practice for “Medical Procedure”

Coach Mike Holmgren, who will turn 60 Sunday, missed Hawks practice today with what the team called a minor medical procedure.  The coach is expected to be back with the team tomorrow during drills.  “I don’t think we’re any different. We always practice at a high tempo because that’s the way he teaches it,” said Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Trufant  “You don’t go out there thinking, ‘OK, coach isn’t here. So we can ease up a little bit.’ We’re just used to doing it a certain way.”
