Sunday’s practice had a lot of the same things as Saturday’s but the most important part was Jaylon Smith passing another test. Today, he practiced, in pads, for the second consecutive day!

Just a quick update from yesterday, Jourdan Lewis joins Ryan Switzer in the Department of Hamstrung. That forced a wily veteran to take reps returning kicks:

Also, Chaz Green did not practice with a sore shoulder but it’s not serious...yet.

Over the past several practices, the defense has probably been winning a lot more than folks thought they would. Today, the offense caught them:

Here is an action shot of Ezekiel Elliott going through some running back drills, he scared folks pulling up for a second (looking like another hamstring) but he’s good:

The cornerbacks have been causing quite the difficulty but Dak and Dez is a hard connection to break:
Too late for a pic, but Dak and Dez just nailed the back-shoulder end zone fade against Anthony Brown.

We can’t bust on the defense too bad, Kyle Wilber showing out for the defense:
