- Practice reports this week show veteran Robert Jones trending ahead on the depth chart after taking most first‑team snaps.
- Second‑year Connor Colby has fallen behind Jones in recent practice alignments and has spent time with the second and third units.
- Rookie Carver Willis is delayed in the race after missing time with a concussion and has had fewer live reps than the other contenders.
