Injury Update

Steven Miller was absent from practice for an unknown reason. Meanwhile, Zach Robertson returned after missing Saturday’s game.

Linebacker Jay Jay Wilson’s coaches decision suspension also ended as he came back to practice as well.

Safety Joey Bryant is still missing after his knee injury from last week that caused him to miss the UTSA game.

The bubble players of the day were wide receiver John Humphrey (out for the season with achilles), defensive back K.J. Jarrell, safety Ty Thomas and quarterback Ryan Kelley.

In non-injury news, N’Keal Harry arrived to practice late and didn’t get involved with the team during the media viewing portion of practice.

What went on?

On the first play of 11-on-11s, Manny Wilkins dropped in a nice pass to Ryan Jenkins on a deep out route to the left side. Kobe Williams defended it very nicely, but Jenkins made an even better catch to stay inbounds.

Isaiah Floyd made a nice block on a rushing Merlin Robertson to give Wilkins more time. Floyd then took a carry to the left side for a long gain through a gap made by Casey Tucker and Alex Losoya.

Dillon Sterling-Cole started with the second team today, but got off to a rough start. He fumbled the first snap of the series. He then threw the next pass to where no one was. Although, things got better as as found Ryan Newsome on a slant, where he beat Langston Frederick for a long touchdown.
