Dyami Brown:

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 13, 2021
Jaret Patterson:
Ron Rivera on Jaret Patterson: “He didn’t surprise us. That’s what we saw in the young man. He had a terrific college career and he’s had a good camp so far. I think we expected him to do some positive things, so it was good to watch.”
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 13, 2021
Kneel?:
Ron Rivera: "It kinda surprised me that they were going to kneel. I thought they would run it. But then they did run it, and unfortunately we didn't get out and turn the ball back in, and when you don't do your job, that's what happens."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 13, 2021
Kyle Allen:
Ron Rivera, on if he expects Kyle Allen back at practice: "Hopefully. He worked out. See how he reacts to everything [Fri.]. They're coming in for meetings. They have a stretch, a lift and conditioning, and then they'll be off. We'll get an opportunity to see where he is on Sun."
