A.J. Brown Debuts

Wide receiver A.J. Brown, acquired via trade from Philadelphia on Monday, passed his physical and participated in positional drills and a limited number of full-team reps.

His first full-team rep was a completion from quarterback Drake Maye on a hitch route.

Offensive Line Shuffles

With Morgan Moses leaving practice, rookies Caleb Lomu and Marcus Bryant handled right tackle duties. Ben Brown took left guard reps with the starters, and Andrew Rupcich filled in when Brown moved to center.

Slot Receivers Active

DeMario Douglas led the team with four catches on Tuesday, including a deep completion on a coverage bust. Efton Chism III also recorded four receptions, all from Tommy DeVito, and saw snaps with the first team.

Quarterback Performance

Drake Maye was accurate underneath and completed passes on two coverage busts, but had some high throws and passes batted at the line. Tommy DeVito had an efficient practice, including scrambles. Rookie Behren Morton did not take team reps.
