Pro Bowl defensive end Montez Sweat did not participate in team drills for the seventh consecutive practice Tuesday — one of four defensive starters who did not participate.

But defensive coordinator Eric Washington said “I don’t have any concerns” about Sweat’s readiness or availability for the season opener on Sept. 8.

In fact, it was a day of minor progress on the injury front. Sweat and cornerback Kyler Gordon also participated in individual drills. Safety Jaquan Brisker (five consecutive practices) and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (six) were non-participants.
