The team practiced for the first time today, although there was no pads. There was still no Kaiwan Lewis as that paperwork situation still looks like it needs to be resolved...Chris Laviano took most of the first team reps at QB...Players who caught my eye - Hayden Rettig, Justin Goodwin, Carlton Agudosi, Nakia Griffin, Bless Austin, Dre Boggs...It was only day one but Austin and Isaiah Wharton lined up as the starting corners...Derrick Nelson was starting at center and I spoke to him afterward. He said not playing took its toll on him, although he credited JPO and Darius Hamilton for getting him through some difficult stretches...I also spoke with Delon Stephenson who said he really feels like he is on the verge of having a breakout year...Quanzell Lambert started at nose guard and afterward, Flood credited his versatility but maintained he is not certain what his final role will be this season...Dorian Miller also told me he really feels ready to be a starter and cut some more body fat this summer. He is checking in at 289 pounds...Much more to come
