On the injury front, he is confident quarterback Daniel Jones will be ready by training camp after his Achilles tear, even with less mobility, sticking to the same scheme. Rookie Titan Tyler Warren brought elite blocking and route running as a pro-ball performer, while wide receiver Alec Pierce improved on. After media routes and contested catches, offensive tackle Jalen Travis showed big upside as a smart physical rookie, ready to step up if needed.

In the secondary, cornerback Justin Wally and safety hunter Wola return healthier, with Wally versatile inside and out and Wola showing great, instincts and camp.
