1. Receiver Dillon Mitchell (above) left Tuesday’s practice early with athletic trainers by his side and was back on the field a day later, albeit in a red, no-contact jersey. Though when the first-team offense took the field during the media-viewing window, he lined up in his usual spot alongside other first-team receivers Johnny Johnson III and Jaylon Redd.
2. Players who have become staples of the first-team offense during the preseason were together once again Wednesday. Along with the receivers, there was tight end Cam McCormick, quarterback Justin Herbert, running back Tony Brooks-James and an offensive line, from left tackle to right tackle, of Penei Sewell, Shane Lemieux, Jake Hanson, Dallas Warmack and Calvin Throckmorton.
