Overview
- Coach Dan Campbell said Friday that rookie right tackle Blake Miller and left guard Christian Mahogany are expected to be available for Sunday’s game versus the Jets unless they suffer practice setbacks.
- Backup guard Ben Bartch will not play in Week 3 because of a foot injury, creating a short-term hole in depth on the interior line.
- Larry Borom filled in at tackle in Week 2 and committed multiple penalties, highlighting the performance gap the starters’ returns aim to close.
- Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing publicly praised Miller’s composure and communication after his Week 1 debut, signaling staff confidence in the rookie’s readiness to help the line.
- Center Cade Mays remains sidelined with a broken wrist and is expected to miss at least another month, which keeps lineup continuity incomplete and places added importance on reserve center Juice Scruggs and other depth pieces.
