Training camp is underway, three practices are finished and the pads come out on Monday. The big question about the team always points at the QB position. Head coach Robert Saleh<\/a><\/strong> was asked if he expects Zach Wilson to take a step forward this year after the team added so many offensive weapons.<\/p>\n

I think he already has. I think Zach will be a lot better, but at the same time we are a very young group. So, we\u2019ve added guys, but it\u2019s a young group. You\u2019ve got a rookie. You\u2019ve got a second-year player. Obviously, Corey (Davis) is there and Braxton (Berrios). You got Jeff (Smith) and (Denzel) Mims and a couple other guys. The backfield is young. It is a young group, but at the same time what is going to be fun is watching this group gel together and create its own identity. Obviously, we have some good players and they\u2019re all going to grow together. Aside from all of that, I thought Zach did a really good job in the offseason. He\u2019s continued in the first week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zach came into camp looking bigger and stronger and Saleh was asked about that.<\/p>\n

A lot of times when you see that first or second year maturation, a lot of guys reshape their bodies. They get to an NFL program and have an NFL diet and they have money in their pocket. They\u2019re not eating ramen noodles all the time. They just naturally get bigger. His family, they\u2019re a bunch of linebackers and then there\u2019s him. So, he\u2019s in a good place with his weight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How have the first 3 practices gone?<\/h3>\n

They\u2019ve been good, the guys have been working. For me, it\u2019s about effort right now. It\u2019s playing fast and understanding you need to learn how to practice without pads because you practice without pads during the season and the objective is to play as fast as possible. It\u2019s been good. We\u2019ve gotten better every single day and we\u2019ve got a good chance to finish tomorrow\u2019s, which will be the last day on the block.<\/p>\n

Injury Updates<\/h3>\n

Jeremy Ruckert<\/strong><\/h4>\n

He\u2019s getting closer. He\u2019s getting closer. I know our training staff felt like there was a mini breakthrough here in the past week. We\u2019ll see how things progress for the remainder of the weekend.<\/p>\n

Mekhi Becton<\/strong><\/h4>\n

He looks good. Today was a really good day for him. We just had a small talk as we were walking off. It\u2019s not getting easier, he\u2019s just getting stronger. Today, I thought, was a really good day. He\u2019s got to continue to strain himself and push himself to the brink of exhaustion and trust that that uncomfort is going to be what helps him get better, and I thought he had a good day today.<\/p>\n

George Fant<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We\u2019ll see, again it\u2019s day by day, I\u2019m not going to put a number on it. Hopefully some time next week. Once we get pads on, I\u2019ll start mixing him in there a little bit. But he looks good, he\u2019s going through everything, he\u2019s getting treatment, and he\u2019s doing basically everything except for the team stuff, which will come.<\/p>\n

Carl Lawson<\/h4>\n

He looks good, excited for pads. He\u2019s stout. He\u2019s powerful. He\u2019s got all his movement. I think he has full confidence in his lower half. He\u2019s Carl. We reeled it back a little bit today for him, which he was not happy about. But, regardless, he looks really good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
