  • In 11-on-11 drills rookie Kelee Ringo earned initial first-team reps at outside cornerback opposite Quinyon Mitchell but Fangio cautions the competition remains open.
  • Fangio expressed confidence in Nolan Smith’s recovery and Jalyx Hunt’s progress while noting that no other edge rusher has yet surfaced.
  • Defensive tackle Jordan Davis arrived at camp 26 pounds lighter in a bid to improve his endurance and leverage.
