Quick personnel notes from Wednesday’s practice

  • Jacob Tuioti-Mariner (appendicitis) was on the sideline. Wednesday was his first day of activity.
  • Deon Hollins switched his red no-contact jersey for a blue jersey, which is obviously a good sign as he’s working his way back from a concussion.
  • No sign of Cameron Griffin (concussion) at practice.
  • Alex Van Dyke and Ishmael Adams worked out on the sideline. Unsure for sure of the injuries. For what it’s worth, Van Dyke was sidelined for a few days with a groin injury during training camp in San Bernardino.
  • Marcus Rios (foot), Paco Perez (knee) and Marcus Moore (back) were also on the sideline.
