TRAINING DAY
SAFTEY DANCE
Kenny Ladler was consistently ball-hawking throughout practice. The safety had a pair of pass breakups against Alex Tanney and later intercepted
Kyle Lauletta in the end zone.
NOT IN THE ZONE
During seven-on-seven red-zone drills, the defense had a tough time keeping the offense out of the end zone. The unit gave up three straight touchdowns at one point, which seemed to catch defensive coordinator James
Bettcher’s attention.
KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES
It was another strong day for
Daniel Jones, highlighted by a beauty of a deep touchdown pass to Paul Perkins. The running back ran a wheel route and Jones hit him in stride down the sideline, leading him into the end zone. Jones also flashed his mobility when he found Garrett
Dickerson on a rollout. The rookie finished 12-for-16 with three touchdowns.
CAUGHT MY EYE
During the team’s blitz period, cornerback Julian Love was dropping back as a safety with the first unit as Jabrill
Peppers was up near the line of scrimmage. Versatility will only help Love, a rookie, see the field.
MEDICAL REPORT
Grant Haley left practice early with what appeared to be an arm injury, though there was no immediate update. The cornerback got banged up after diving for a pass breakup. WR Sterling Shepard (thumb) wore a yellow jersey in team drills again. LB B.J. Goodson (hamstring), CB Sam Beal (hamstring), WR Darius Slayton (hamstring), LB Markus Golden (load management), WR Brittan Golden (groin), OL George Asafo-Adjei (concussion), CB Henre Toliver (ankle) and DL Alex Jenkins worked off to the side.
