Welcome to the From the Podium podcast, where we feature all of our daily press conferences rolled into one podcast to help you get ready for the 2025 regular season.

I'm Brock Danahy, and on today's episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin

Stefansky, quarterback Kenny Pickett, Pro Bowl offensive guard Joel Betonio, rookie running back

Dylan Samson, and safety Grant Delpit from the second joint practice in Philadelphia. Before practice,

head coach Kevin Stefansky addressed the injury to Shador

Sanders and shared his thoughts from yesterday's joint practice. Okay, I thought yesterday was really,

really good work by both teams. You know, I appreciate how Nick operates around here. And I think

both teams understood that it was time to get some good work in and it was

hot and it was hard so I thought it was very beneficial to both sides and then today more of the

same will be a shorter practice by design a few less team periods no one-on-ones today but an important

day nonetheless we will do kickoff and kickoff return as well as field goal for Tony. But looking forward to a good day's work, and with that I'll take any questions. Can you tell us about, what happened with the oblique strain and what the outlaw is like for him? Yeah, felt it early, I think warming up and then felt it throughout individuals, so took a look at it. You know, if it's a right guard, you can play through that. When it's a quarterback, you kind of need that muscle to throw. So unfortunately, I'm going to put him down for a little bit here. We'll treat it day to day and see how he responds, but I want to be smart because he's a thrower. So you can't push that thing. It's such a critical point in your evaluation of each of these quarterbacks.

How does it affect your evaluation of the quarterback?

Yeah, listen, injuries stink for all these guys.

They don't want to miss a rep for any reason, Tony, but there's a way to continue to prepare,

continue to get better even when you're not getting those reps because of injury. Is it a little bleak care, but I know, a lot like a hamstring? Is that one of those injuries that, I mean, it gets a little tricky? I think it's just with throwers and pitchers and guys that tour can twist their body. You've got to be really careful. Is the length of the rehab just like rest or is he getting treatment for?

Both yeah getting treatment. And he'll be out there today. He'll be out here today.

Does this mean that Dylan will start the game on Saturday? We got to see how he does today and gets through.

So not not ready to say for sure. What about picket today? He will be limited. Yes.

And if Dylan doesn't start, I mean you're really your only option, then he's for Tyler to start the game, right? We'll work through all those things. Obviously, you know, Snoop knows exactly what to do, how to do it, so is ready to roll. We'll see who else is available, Mayor Kaye, but got to get through today before I know that. Any chance you would play Flacco and emerge in a situation? So could it be a situation?

Could he rule out of Chiodorf for this game? Because yesterday you guys said it was unlikely he'll play Saturday. But it sounds. I'll stay with unlikely. I think that's a good word by Peter. But yeah, he's day to day. So what's today? Thursday. So unlikely. So could it be a situation where Tyler might play the whole game if it comes to that?

Everything's on the table. We'll see. Thursday, so unlikely. So could it be a situation where Tyler might play the whole game if it comes to that?

Everything's on the table. We'll see.
