"He practiced. He did everything. He had his helmet on. He felt good and he's ready to play on Saturday night."
Zumwalt is the Bruins starting outside linebacker, who sat out of practice all of last week and did not travel with the team for its game at Colorado. Coach Mora noted that he will start Damien Holmes on Sunday In Zumwalt's place but will work Zumwalt into the game.
