Pitts had three goal-to-go matchups with safety DeMarcco Hellams and won all three. The first came on a goal line fade to the back left corner of the endzone, followed by a physical finish in front of the goal post where both players hit the ground. With pads on, the offensive and defensive lines were naturally more representative Tuesday than in any of the first four sessions of camp -- defensive line coach Jay Rodgers said afterwards it was his group's first real practice.

Cousins finished the afternoon 8-of-11 through the air, hitting tight end Charlie Woerner three times in drills. He also found Pitts twice, including a 15-yard out route accompanied by a handful-more yards after the catch. On the defensive line, second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro and fourth-round selection Brandon Dorlus worked more with the second-team group, as has become more common as camp has progressed.

Fourth-round linebacker J.D. Bertrand worked with the second-team defense and appears safe as the No. 4 linebacker behind Kaden Elliss, Nate Landman and Troy Andersen.
