Overview
- The team moved back to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on Monday and held a nearly 2.5-hour padded practice while using temporary locker rooms and makeshift spaces because the facility is under a multi-year renovation through 2028.
- Monday’s session produced multiple injury evaluations with center John Michael Schmitz confirmed in concussion protocol and several players listed day-to-day including JuJu Smith-Schuster, Abdul Carter, Greg Newsome II and Jalin Hyatt.
- Coaches praised quarterback Jaxson Dart after he slid to avoid contact during a late-game drill, a change seen as an important step toward protecting his availability after a rookie season marked by multiple head-injury checks.
- Top receiver Malik Nabers continued limited individual work and running routes on the side as the club manages his recovery from knee surgery and monitors his progress toward being available for Week 1.
- The club made small roster moves while finishing evaluations, signing defensive back JT Woods and releasing defensive lineman Sam Roberts, and now turns its focus to final cuts and the preseason opener on August 15.
