Rivera likes seeing Chase out here even though he’s not participating. Says having a leader here is a good thing. No timetable yet when we’ll see him on field. “There’s a plan”

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) June 1, 2022

Ron Rivera remains cautious about projecting a return to practice for Chase Young (ACL). Wouldn't be until closer to the season. Happy to have 99 back in the building for voluntary OTA sessions this week.

Ron Rivera isn’t too familiar with the Colorado facility that Chase Young has been working/recovering at but appreciates “the plan” that Chase has, which has been laid out by doctors and the team’s new trainer. “My understanding is he’s following the plan” Rivera said

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) June 1, 2022

Rivera said Montez has tremendous skillset, and he learns to use it, he’ll become more dynamic

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

Rivera asked if he has a reaction to Dan Snyder being asked to testify. “No”. @wtop

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) June 1, 2022

Ron Rivera, in talking to reporters at OTAs today, said Kendall Fuller plays well outside in Del Rio's scheme because he plays with vision.

"The only other guy that I ever really saw that really understood playing with vision was Josh Norman. ... Kendall does that very well."

Rivera on what would define success this year: “Winning”

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) June 1, 2022

Scott Turner is up next. Said Cole Turner has been great so far. Some rookie mistakes, obviously, but for the most part he’s playing fast and looking good doing it

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

Turner said players like Cole Turner, big with a good catch radius, are easy targets for quarterbacks

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

The game doesn’t look too big for Dotson, Turner said, he doesn’t say a lot but he does his job well.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

Turner said Sam Howell is learning and has done a good job of learning the playbook. Too early to tell when he would be ready, but Turner is excited about Howell and what he could be

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

Scott Turner called Curtis Samuel “one of the smartest players I’ve ever been around.” Went on to say Samuel has “no limiations” for what he can do in the offense b/c of his versatility

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

Young said he spoke with former teammate Nick Bosa, who also recovered from a torn ACL. Said it was a daily grind, but he is making progress

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 1, 2022

Chase Young confirms that, in his ACL surgery, they took a graft from the patella in his other knee. Like Ron, doesn’t wanna to pin down an exact date for his return

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) June 1, 2022

Chase Young told reporters at OTAs today that a graft from his left patellar tendon was used in his right knee, indicating his right ACL was reconstructed and not simply repaired.

— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) June 1, 2022

Bobby McCain on @ColeHolcomb_: "Fifty-five is a dog, man. He's a real dog, one of the best linebackers I've played with, and over the years I've played with some really good ones. He's really smart, he can get guys lined up, he gets guys corrected, and he's a real dog out there."
