Overview

  • Milller said his collarbone was dislocated in the second scrimmage, is back in place, and doctors told him recovery should be fast without surgery.
  • Kalen DeBoer previously reported an upper-body injury and a procedure on scrimmage night, adding that a full recovery is expected with no return date set.
  • Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is weighing Daniel Hill, Richard Young, Dre Washington, Kevin Riley and others based on reliability, pass protection and fit.
  • Grubb praised Hill’s physicality, Washington’s vision and progress in protection, and Young’s inside burst, with decisions due in the coming days.
  • Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said lineman James Smith has met recovery markers, returned to practice looking fresh and is set for a disruption role up front.
