Another week of OTAs are in the books, with some more interesting nuggets starting to come in based on various observations. 

Most interesting to me has been the slow-going at wide receiver where Michael Jenkins is starting with Danny Amendola, as expected.  It’s no surprise to see veterans getting the first looks at this point in the offseason.  That includes Steve Gregory, Kyle Arrington and Adrian Wilson on defense.

Of course the best news is that we can officially now say that “training camp starts next month”!

Here’s the best of the week:
