Gruden on Steven Sims “he’s a fireball. Every time he gets the ball in his hands it’s exciting.”

Jay Gruden said Steven Sims is a "little fireball." Says his rookie wideout is simply "electric with the ball in his hands."

Cam Sims:
Gruden on Cam Sims: “hes had a strong camp... it’ll be tough to narrow it down to five or six guys.” Gruden said he doubts they’ll keep 7 wideouts

Cam Sims is having his left hand examined by medical staff in the locker room. Looks like maybe his left ring finger is bothering him. Just exited with someone on the staff

Wide receivers:
On the receivers. Gruden mentions the tough battle all summer and that it will be hard making cuts. Says 5 or 6, but doubts 7. That's interesting if so.

Gruden says he doesn’t know yet on McKinzy in terms of Philly yet.
