But you guys know, we focus less on those that we’re minimizing and those that we’re not working, when we view it more as an opportunity for some ascending guys to get not only more reps, but more competitive reps against experienced competition,” Tomlin said.Cory Trice and Ryan Watts were the primary benefactors.
Also sitting were outside linebacker Alex Highsmith , defensive end DeMarvin Leal , and defensive tackle Keeanu Benton . Benton and Highsmith started working off toAs for Jackson and Elliott, it seems unlikely that either will miss much time, if any, in the future.
