Overview

• Fangio announced that DeJean will take outside-corner reps in base-defense looks for the first time since camp opened, marking a cross-training experiment to test his versatility
• The move does not signal a permanent shift from his primary nickel role, with Fangio stating DeJean isn’t being moved away from the slot at this time
• The starting cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell remains undecided among Adoree' Jackson, Jakorian Bennett, Kelee Ringo, and Mac McWilliams, with Fangio calling the competition very even
• Any long-term boundary assignment for DeJean hinges on a backup nickel proving capable of stepping into the slot, according to Fangio
• Evaluations will continue through the preseason, including the third game, before finalizing the CB2 starter and any position adjustments
