Overview

  • Jackson took most first-team snaps opposite Quinyon Mitchell for a second straight practice as Kelee Ringo worked with the second and third units.
  • Cooper DeJean received his first outside-corner reps of the summer in base packages but remains the primary nickel unless another slot option emerges, per Fangio.
  • Recent trade addition Jakorian Bennett is still acclimating and is being given a full opportunity, including first-team red-zone work, before a call is made.
  • Rookie safety Drew Mukuba earned extended first-team looks after two preseason takeaways and left Tuesday’s practice with a hamstring issue, according to reporters.
  • Fangio reiterated that multiple defensive battles, including CB2, will probably be decided after Friday’s preseason finale against the Jets.
