Looking like Kyle Allen will practice. Out here in pads and a helmet.

Allen missed the last two weeks after tweaking his surgically repaired ankle. He went through a workout and throwing session before the WFT's preseason game in NE on Thursday.

Sharpe will ramp up, as others did returning from the covid list. His full return prompts an interesting question about OL reps. Before the list, he was playing backup LT. Now, Cornelius Lucas is in that spot.

How do reps shake out for backup Ts (Sharpe, Lucas, Charles)? https://t.co/sDFpv31Qo4

WR Curtis Samuel will do position work but not full-team drills. Build up conditioning and work back in.

Red zone drills coming up. Fitz hit Humphries on a wiiiddee open TD in the middle of the field. Nice start for the offense.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 15, 2021

Another scoring play from Fitz. This time connecting with Dyami Brown. Fitz is having a good start to the morning. Didn’t miss a single target.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 15, 2021

Great job climbing the ladder by Cam Sims. Workin the endzone, two defenders converging on him, Taylor Heinicke throws it high for Sims, who absorbs the contact and holds onto the ball going to the ground for the score

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 15, 2021

Team drills, Day 13: Tyler Larsen is getting first team reps at center. Chase Roullier is here and in uniform, so not sure what’s up with that.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 15, 2021

Montez Sweat doing Montez Sweat things. Just blew up a run play for about a five-yard loss.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 15, 2021

Brandon Scherff is having helmet issues? So Ereck Flowers is in at LG and Wes Schweitzer at RG with the 1s

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 15, 2021

Matt Ioannidis is in on team drills. He’s been working his way back after being on the covid list.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 15, 2021

On consecutive plays, Antonio Gibson gets stopped by the DEs.

I swear, he ran right into Chase Young’s core and Young did not move one inch Gibson bounced backwards

Next play, toss, Montez Sweat gets to him in the backfield for the loss

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 15, 2021

Jaret Patterson and J.D. McKissic split the carries with the second team and Peyton Barber did work with the third-team unit

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 15, 2021

J.D. McKissic very good at route running. Uses a little stutter step in the middle of his route to freeze Jamin Davis and then keeps running along the sideline for the easy grab from Taylor Heinicke

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 15, 2021

We just had a 4 20 connection as Taylor Heinicke's pass was intercepted by Jimmy Moreland.

Kyle Allen then immediately throws a pick. Troy Apke with the play.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 15, 2021

Jimmy Moreland with a nice pick of Heinicke. Dropped on deep crosser to Brown. Right spot. On Allen’s first pass in 9-9 Apke picks him. Ball to Wright.

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 15, 2021

Another impressive pick, this time from Danny Johnson. Heinicke was targeting AGG on the sideline. Johnson originally knocked the ball away and the grabbed it at the last second before stepping out of bounds.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 15, 2021

Oh my. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a perfect over the shoulder to Dyami Brown, who beat William Jackson III. But Brown trotted into the end zone, giving Landon Collins enough time to swoop in and pop the ball out of his hands before he crossed the goal line.
