Overview

  • Taylor said Volson injured his right shoulder in practice and that final status will be confirmed after the procedure.
  • Volson, a 2022 fourth-round pick from North Dakota State, has started 48 of 50 games in three seasons.
  • The staff is still working through whether to add help, with evaluations continuing during the closing stretch of camp.
  • Internal options include rookie Jalen Rivers, who took snaps at guard Monday, and veteran Cody Ford, who could get another look.
  • Taylor praised Volson’s professionalism after a recent move out of the starting lineup, and he noted Lucas Patrick’s issue is less severe than first thought.
