Notes from today's practice:

• The good from the offense: A deep TD pass from Daniel Jones to a then-healthy Malik Nabers running a post that split safeties Jason Pinnock and Dane Belton. A deep TD pass from Jones to Jalin Hyatt on a fade route against Deonte Banks.

The bad from the offense: Everything else. It was one of the sloppiest practices of camp. Jones threw a pass into a crowd over the middle that was intercepted by Jason Pinnock (third INT of camp). A forced pass to Nabers on a curl was nearly intercepted by Bobby Okereke.

Some of the misses from Jones were way off target. He had Darius Slayton running wide open in the back of the end zone in a red-zone period and the throw wasn't close. And it wasn't even a day with a ton of downfield passes. Devin Singletary led the starting offense with four catches.

Jones fumbled a shotgun snap while trying to run a QB draw on the offense's last rep of practice. Just not a sharp day at all.

• There was a lot of rotating with the center/right guard spots. Greg Van Roten started at C with Aaron Stinnie at RG. In the middle of some periods, Austin Schlottmann would come in at C and Van Roten would shift to RG. In other periods, Schlottmann would come in at C and Stinnie would stay at RG.

John Michael Schmitz took some reps at C in a walk-through install period. Can see where things are headed with Van Roten eventually displacing Stinnie at RG.

• TE Theo Johnson looked like a rookie today. Had multiple passes fall incomplete that hit his hands. A mix of drops and inability to catch inaccurate passes.

• It was equally shaky for Tommy DeVito pulling double duty as the QB for the second and third teams. Like Jones, some misses that were way off the mark.

• It's surprising to see Andrew Thomas give up a sack in practice because it never happened the past few years. But Brian Burns beat him twice today. One was on a screen, but Burns was on Jones so fast he likely would have blown up the play in a game.

• Tre Hawkins got some first-team reps at outside CB with Nick McCloud shifting into the Dime LB spot at times. As noted during practice, Tre Herndon was the first-team slot corner with Dru Phillips apparently getting a day off.

• Injury updates beyond Nabers: LB Dyontae Johnson (ankle) and S Elijah Riley (concussion) weren't spotted. QB Drew Lock (hip), CB Cor'Dale Flott (quad), S Gervarrius Owens (knee), LB Carter Coughlin (lower body) and Jalen Mills (NFI) worked on the side. WR Dennis Houston watched practice with his right hand in a cast.

In addition to Schmitz and Evan Neal, TE Lawrence Cager (hamstring) and OLB Tomon Fox (hamstring) returned after missing two weeks each. Fox would have had a sack of DeVito in the last team period.

Quote from: coggs on August 11, 2024, 04:03:57 PMPlease don't be a high ankle sprain for Nabers.

They don't believe it is.  They still have to do some scans but they are optimistic it's minor
