emptying the notebook: Chase Young participated in goal-line drills. 6 reps. Rivera:"You’d hate to have him in when you’re doing some sort of full-team movement out there in the middle of the field where he’s trying to open up 100 percent. let him work himself gradually back."
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 24, 2020
Saw another example of Antonio Gibson's athleticism. He smoothly grabbed an Allen pass at his feet on the run. Tough grab. Has worked exclusively with the RBs. Yeah, will sit in some meetings with WRs as it pertains to his routes only. Wish could see him in a preseason game.

Tempo is a big thing, too, with Rivera. During an 11-on-11 red zone drill, Rivera could be heard imploring the O to "go fast, go fast, go fast!"

Mentioned this on the podcast (https://t.co/E2MFL9yURX) but Jimmy Moreland seems a lot more consistent this camp. Maybe not as many picks, but fewer breakdowns. Broke up a pass to Inman today. DB coach Chris Harris was pumped. Few minutes later, broke up another. #TPC

Finally, I think the thing I'm looking forward to seeing most is how they use their RBs during the season and the action that comes off it. That's where their skill talent lies; it will be used and at times creatively. We see things now; can't report. I think it'll be fun.

I learned a lot about Ron Rivera from this talk with Leon Harris. At one point they talked about doing a podcast together b/c the rapport was so good.

Especially enjoyed the lightning round and word association. His pet peeve is a great one. And spoiler, @CoachRiv2 is the boss https://t.co/aWKxsP50za
Main takeaways from today’s practice:
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) August 24, 2020
- Another solid performance from Haskins. 5 touchdowns & not many misfires.
- Chase Young back on the field for goal line drills = disruptive
- Terry McLaurin is a stud
- Can Sims coming on
- Moreland, SDH, Apke continue to impress.
After 3 sacks vs Wisconsin “He said, 'I had two more sacks I could have gotten,'" Gibson recalled. "He was upset about that. Everyone's praising him, and if you had had a conversation with him, you'd be looking at him like 'Chase, that's crazy.“ https://t.co/6qCma4h8a8

Spoke to Raiders WR Tyrell Williams agent, Collin Roberts who confirms Williams' torn labrum. 2nd opinion came via Dr. Neil Elattrache "last week." "Doctors said give it a couple weeks before prax but we're taking it day by day." Williams will attempt to play thru it like in '17.

Tyrell Williams contributed 42 catches for 651 yards with 6 TDs last year. If he can’t go, he’ll be missed. Vegas drafted two WRs early — Henry Ruggs and WR Bryan Edwards. Both will be counted on. https://t.co/HWNokr1FiH

At end of conference call after this weekend's spate of false positive tests, Dr. Allen Sills, NFL's chief medical officer, notes that the league has gotten through 4 weeks with no outbreaks. No positive tests at all among players from Aug. 12 to 20. Remarkably low numbers.

For those at home thats a 0.01% positive rate. Amazing news! https://t.co/W6Pm7LjRh0

We're still just a month in with plenty more to go, but the COVID-19 numbers for NFL players/coaches/staffers have been better than even the most optimistic of expectations. The work, w/o a bubble, to keep each other safe and take this virus seriously should be commended.

The NFL expresses confidence in its coronavirus testing program following its weekend scare with 77 false positives from a contamination in a New Jersey lab, and announces that no players tested positive during Aug. 12-20 testing.... https://t.co/rw7AGeuPLU
