It's still unclear whether All-America linebacker Sean Lee will finally be cleared to play again when Minnesota comes to Beaver Stadium on Saturday.
But it appears that he's closer than he's ever been since injuring his knee last month.
Lee tested the sprained knee in practice on Monday and seemed to pull through OK. Coach Joe Paterno, though, was hesitant when asked to make a prediction on Lee's game status.
"I'm anxious to see how he feels today when we go out there," Paterno said. But, "It's still not a done deal. I'm not sure whether he's going to make it or not this Saturday, but he's working like a dog trying to.
"We're not going to take any chances with his future," Paterno added later in his weekly press conference. "I keep telling him, 'Take it easy, Sean. Take it easy. Don't overdue it.'
"It would be selfish on our part and foolish on his if he went in there when he just doesn't feel like it's 100 percent."
