Overview

  • Caleb Williams delivered one of his smoothest performances of camp, using quicker pre-snap cadence and cleaner reads to spark the offense’s most consistent day yet.
  • Rookie Luther Burden III erased early alignment hiccups by hauling in contested catches and earning significant first-team reps during extended 11-on-11 drills.
  • Offensive line candidates rotated through live pad periods to prove their durability, though a delay-of-game penalty underscored ongoing timing adjustments.
  • Dennis Allen’s defense forced a fourth-down interception to close a situational drill and generated consistent pressure during live tackling sessions.
  • Cornerback Jaylon Johnson remains on the NFI list but is targeting a Week 1 return as Stevenson, McCloud and Wright continue to vie for the No. 2 spot.
