Those who were wearing the yellow jersey (meaning limited activity because of injuries) included defensive lineman Zelt Minor, linebacker Anthony Rhone, wide receivers Darius Joseph and Shelby Walker and offensive lineman Marcus McNeil.

Nice job and good questions...thank you

I agree.

PP, thanks for sharing these good interviews as usual.

A bit disturbing to hear that Minor and Rhone are both starting training camp injured....hopefully nothing serious.

Given the limited media access I'm not sure if you can get a feel for this or not, but I've been curious how Arrius Holleman has looked since coming back to the team. His time in JJ's "offense" certainly did not leave one with a great impression of his skills, and if I recall he was partially injured during the Spring Game and looked pitifully slow and tentative on his routes (which makes sense if he was hurt). He was one that I didn't understand HCCM bringing back onto the roster, but hopefully this system fits his size and abilities better?

I agree. All the reporters did a good job with the questions.

Oh no! Someone gave PonyPride a compliment! Better make sure your buddies on other sites got credit as well!

Good job having practice at the actual times of the games coming up.

I haven't seen a lot of him — as you mentioned, our access is very limited — but from the little I have seen, he looks a little leaner and a little faster than he was before. I can think of a couple of drills in which I noticed him, and he caught the balls thrown his way, but they were against no defense, etc.

The WRs group looks visibly different, though. Between Holleman, Alex Honey, Kevin Thomas, Austin Percy (a 6-4 walk-on who looks like he has decent speed) and Courtland Sutton, the group is almost unrecognizable. That's not to say which guys will play how much, of course, but I can't remember a WR group in years with that much height.
