With T.J. Watt still on the sidelines nursing a hamstring injury, second-year outside linebacker Olasunkanmi Adeniyi got the opportunity to work with the starters yesterday after Anthony Chickillo also sat out for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Chickillo returned today, but then Bud Dupree was sat out. Which mean more first-team reps for the former college free agent, who has been one of the top stories of training camp so far. And his veteran teammates, such as Stephon Tuitt, have noticed.
The sixth-year defensive lineman was asked about Adeniyi recently, with Teresa Varley quoting him as saying of him that “he has a lot of tenacity”.
