Notes From Practice: Day 2


- The defense practiced against the read-option and pistol offense during an early jog-through period.

- At backup quarterback, Harrell and B.J. Coleman switched off every two plays. Harrell was the first up, but the two of them rotated consistently.

- For the second day in a row, Newhouse got the first set of snaps as the starting right tackle.

- The No. 2 offensive line unit included David Bakhtiari at left tackle, Andrew Datko at left guard, Barclay at center and Greg Van Roten at right guard.

- Charles Johnson suffered what initially seemed like a potentially serious left leg injury. Johnson was on the ground for a couple minutes but limped off the field under his own power into the Don Hutson Center. Johnson later rejoined his teammates on the sideline but did not play.

- In punt return drills, Randall Cobb was given the first opportunity. Jeremy Ross was the second player to get a chance in punt return. Jordy Nelson, Tramon Williams and Johnathan Franklin also returned punts.

- Jerron McMillian got the majority of the first-team defensive snaps at safety next to Morgan Burnett. M.D. Jennings was on the field first on Friday, but he and McMillian could be going back and forth every day until one of them becomes the clear-cut leader of that training camp battle.

- There was no live field-goal kicking in this practice. McCarthy stated that the team plans to do field goals with the entire special teams unit every other practice.

- The three songs played during the team's water breaks : Pearl Jam, "Even Flow" - Johnny Cash, "Ring of Fire" - Bob Marley, "Jammin'"
