Overview
- Coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that wide receiver Jameson Williams is dealing with a minor shoulder injury and that the issue is being handled as a precaution.
- Williams missed Sunday’s padded practice and was held out of Monday night’s session, though Campbell did not give a specific timeline for his return to practice or games.
- The absence has given veteran Tom Kennedy and Tay Martin extra first-team work and creates more opportunities for receivers to push for roster spots ahead of Saturday’s preseason game vs. Washington.
- Campbell also reported that cornerback Nick Whiteside is sidelined with a hamstring issue and that guard Ben Bartch did not practice, but he described those problems as not thought to be serious.
- Heavy reported that newly signed center Cade Mays broke a wrist and could miss the first several regular-season games, a claim treated as a separate report and not confirmed by the team.
