Overview

  • Schottenheimer halted Wednesday’s training camp practice after the third fight in three sessions and punished both players and coaches with full-field sprints to drive home his accountability message.
  • Rookie offensive tackle Ajani Cornelius was ejected for punching a teammate, upholding Schottenheimer’s pre-camp warning that any punches would result in immediate expulsion.
  • Veteran receiver CeeDee Lamb backed the disciplinary crackdown, saying the team must harness aggression within a disciplined framework to prevent self-inflicted errors.
  • Tyler Guyton’s knee injury has thrust backup Nate Thomas into the starting left tackle spot, testing the new coach’s depth chart as camp injuries mount.
  • Alongside stricter discipline, Schottenheimer is solidifying a power-running offensive identity to address last season’s poor rankings in penalties and turnovers.
