Leaping Lazard

Get in line

The offensive line is still missing some key pieces.

Starting RT Morgan Moses did not practice at all and RG Alijah Vera-Tucker did not participate in team drills.

This group is going to need time together to jell.

Caught my eye

Rookie CB Qwan’tez Stiggers intercepted a pass from rookie QB Andrew Peasley in a seven-on-seven drill. Stiggers made plays in the spring and that continued Wednesday.

Rodgers went 4-for-9 in team drills.

He misfired on a few passes but finished things off with a touchdown in a red-zone period to Lazard.

He had one bad red-zone period, where he went 1-for-4.

Injury report

Moses worked on a side field with trainers during practice.

Moses is recovering from pectoral surgery.

Vera-Tucker participated in individual drills but sat out the team periods.

He is recovering from a torn Achilles.

WR Mike Williams and FB Nick Bawden are on PUP and worked on a separate field.
