Day 3 of camp is here! The countdown to pads is on, but the team continues its slow build-up in their mini-camp Esq style of practice. A few noteworthy pieces in today’s Tweets of Note from camp, let’s get at it!
This was a concern today, up until today *touches wood* there hadn’t been any injury scares, but the news of Teddy K falling over a teammate earlier was a worry. Fortunately, it sounds as if that backup center avoided a serious injury to his left knee. This will be one to watch, although not the end of the world if Karras has to miss some time, the team went out to get him and value his presence in the group.
The rookie RB stepped onto the practice field for the first time today after beginning camp on PUP. Currently, the team has a stacked room of backs, with the likes of Sony Michel and Damien Harris fighting it out for the lead rushing role, Stevenson will have an opportunity to be a part of the backfield this season if he’s fully fit throughout camp.
With a magnifying glass on Jones for pretty much everything he does, it was good to see him have some success in 11v11s. Cam was also noted by many as having a good day and connecting a bunch with some of the new faces in the WR room, one thing is for sure, the QB competition is primed to heat up when the pads come on next week.
Agholor was the WR who everyone was talking about today, by all accounts he had a fine day, making a number of impressive catches from both quarterbacks taking the majority of reps. I’m really coming around to the idea of Agholor being the no 1 target this season.
