Observations from the portion of the practice open to media:
1. Near the start of the practice, players were going through warm-up drills by position. The defensive backs worked on interceptions, breaking forward and trying to bring in passes thrown at them by secondary coach Travares Tillman.
A player dropped one of the passes, and Tillman lit into him, loudly emphasizing that those balls have to be caught.
At the end of the period, Tillman delivered a salty exhortation for the group to pick up the energy level.
2. Wide receiver Kalani Norris was a standout in passing drills, using his quickness to get himself in the clear for receptions. Against cornerback Myles Sims, a sharp cut got him open for an on-target back-shoulder throw from quarterback Jeff Sims.
3. Jeff Sims threw well, at one point whistling a pass to receiver Nate McCollum in the seam perhaps 30 yards downfield. The pass was on target, but McCollum couldn't bring it in cleanly, enabling safety Jaylon King to jar the ball loose. Sims also had a well-timed throw to wide receiver E.J. Jenkins on a 10-yard route (Jenkins may have gotten away with a push-off against Myles Sims), with the ball arriving as Jenkins turned back for the ball.
