Overview

  • Adoree' Jackson handled most first-team boundary snaps in Monday’s practice, while Kelee Ringo worked with the second unit and even some thirds.
  • Fangio said the competition remains even and "will probably" carry into the Jets game, with no conclusion yet on who starts opposite Quinyon Mitchell.
  • Cooper DeJean took limited outside-corner snaps in base looks for the first time this camp and, per Fangio, remains the primary nickel "at this time."
  • Recent trade pickup Jakorian Bennett is getting a full opportunity in the evaluation, and rookie Mac McWilliams is in the mix after missing time with an injury.
  • Rookie safety Drew Mukuba earned extended first-team reps after a pick-six and a fumble recovery, including work next to Reed Blankenship as DeJean lined up outside in base.
