Overview

• Kyle Dugger has been relegated to second-team reps during training camp after serving as a starter since midway through his rookie season.
• Jaylinn Hawkins and rookie Craig Woodson have overtaken Dugger in the top safety rotation alongside Jabrill Peppers.
• Coach Mike Vrabel said Dugger must master new coverage concepts and sustain progress in practice to earn back a starting spot.
• Dugger’s recovery from offseason ankle surgery and his transition to Terrell Williams’s defense have limited his camp effectiveness.
• His four-year, $58 million extension raises the stakes of any trade or cut decision given the potential dead-money impact.
