C.J. Wallace: Innocent of blocking violation

Safety C.J. Wallace was tagged the guilty party for blowing a block on one of the two punts blocked by the Bears on Saturday. Not so. Wallace wasn't assigned to block that man, someone else was assigned to make that block on the play.

A couple other notes from the special-teams practice: Nate Burleson is the No. 1 receiver, which puts him out of the mix as a punt-returner. That leaves Ben Obomanu, Justin Forsett and Josh Wilson as the top candidates for that position. Marcus Trufant and Seneca Wallace have also caught punts in practice.

As for the kickers, Brandon Coutu and Olindo Mare will mix up responsibilities more in the final two exhibition games. In the first two exhibition games, one was responsible for all field-goal attempts, the other handled kickoffs. Also, Ryan Plackemeier is expected to be ready to punt in Monday's exhibition game.

So, who was responsible? If they know who wasn't, they have to know who was. Do your job, Danny.

Buffalo radio stations are reporting that Seattle is putting Branch on the PUP list.

Anyone hear this?
