Maliek Collins begins camp on PUP list.
David Irving not expected in Oxnard at all for training camp (suspended first 4 games of regular season). Excused absence.
Rookie Cedrick Wilson suffers torn labrum.
Noah Brown sat out both padded practices with a hamstring.
Chaz Green dealing with leg cramps early in the week limped off on Sunday.
Dalton Shultz left camp for the birth of his baby.
--------------------
Randy Gregory present, doesn't take part of conditioning on Thursday, but is 242 lbs of pure muscle whose first step and uncanny bending ability has been the talk of camp since then. Think owning the circle drill.
The highlight of the padded practices is no surprise: The offensive line is dominating. Get it! The rookie is playing very well using his quick feet and getting in position to quell any concerns about power. Conner Williams stoning people in team pass drills, stoning people in one-on-one pass rush drills. Hot Take: Nate Newton said that they are already better as compared to ANY point last year. The second day of padded practice resulted in the first camp scuffle after La'el threw Taco to the ground. And, this is what it looks like when Tyron Smith plays healthy.
Conner Williams obviously getting first team reps.
Dorance Armstrong is working with second team DL.
Leighton Vander Esch is working with the second team at Mike while Jaylon Smith (now brace-less) is working with the first team plus nickle formation, plus blitz packages. Leighton is showing his scary fast speed and Jaylon looks healthy and back to Notre Dame form.
Demarcus Lawrence starting off right where he left off as he plays another year with something to prove under the franchise tag. It's going to pose a nightmare for other teams if/when Gregory is paired up on the opposite end of of the line with Lawrence.
Byron Jones now a corner-back under Kris Richard's scheme logs the first interception of camp. The defensive backfield full of energy under the new coaching.
After missing his very first kick (and struggling last year after injury) Dan Bailey was 11/12 after Saturday's practice with a long of 50.
Camp punt returners: Austin, Beasley, Lenoir and Trey Williams.
And finally what everyone wants to talk about: WR Cole Beasley is lining up all over the field, running routes all over the place, not just in the slot. Beasley is lining up outside and running deep routes while Herns is getting his fair share of playing in the slot. Michael Gallup is impressing with both his speed and his size. Gallup was a standout on Saturday and then had multiple drops on Sunday and was quoted on having to work on his consistency. Tavon Austin is wicked fast and has been lining up on the outside sometimes at the same time as Beasly. Terrance Williams is still being held out, running hard on the sidelines.
