Pete did a press conference last week and a reporter asked him about Breno and Okung and Pete said something to the effect of 'Well Okung has different restrictions regarding his return than Breno does'....anybody have an idea what he means? Is it contractual restrictions that require different clearance for him to return? In context it sounded like Pete thought Breno and Okung would be rehabbed around the same time but that Okung may not return despite the fact that he was "Able" to play but that Breno could return when he was "Able" to play. Just made me wonder.
Okung's status?

Because Okung was placed on the IR-Designated to Return list, he is not allowed to return until the Minnesota game, from what I understand.
Carroll: Russell Okung + Breno Giacomini will get some work in today. BG is 'likely a couple weeks' from playing. RO can't play til Week 11

This is absolutely correct. Giacomini is eligible to play any given week if he gets healthy, but he hasn't been able to get himself right. Okung was placed on the IR designated to return. By league rule, he has to be out a minimum number of weeks. The timing of his injury means he cannot play before week 11 (Minnesota), but with the designated to return rule, he is allowed to start practicing with the team 2 weeks prior to that I believe. The timing of their comebacks is conicidental, because it seems that Breno is getting closer to being ready and they should both be able to practice this week. The only difference now, is that the minute Breno is healthy enough to play, he can be activated on game day. Okung can't be activated before the Vikings game.
