and Well, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Coller here and Friends, we have a padded practice to break down and that is exactly what we're going to do.

We've got press conference clips.

We have fan questions and we have practice notes.

I am telling you it is so hard when they're running around in shorts to make actual

observations but now oh now we can do this and you may think that I'm kind of

messing with you a little but I'm really not I've got a notebook worth of things that actually happened today

Starting with our injury issues or absences because they don't have to put out an injury report. So if someone is sitting out, they might just tell us it's load management. Even if it's not, it could be an injury. We don't know. And the fact that it's Kevin O'Connell and that we haven't worked with him

Like we did with the Mike Zimmer and we knew with Zimmer that some injuries he was gonna tell us and some injuries he wasn't going to tell us and you never really knew how

Honesty was going to be or forthright

But in training camp the teams don't have to do it.

So I'm just saying that to tell you that Kenay Wong-Woo was not practicing today.

And Irv Smith Jr. started the practice and then left and went off the field with a trainer he returned but he did not practice so

remember when I said on just the last episode things will change quickly this could be a thing that changes this could be nothing it could be an actual tweak or it could be more that's where we're going to find out as we go forward and get updates from Kevin O'Connell and so forth, but it's

among the list of things that you absolutely don't want to see is Irv Smith walking off with a trainer. Again, I'm not trying to fear

monger about Irv Smith's knee. There may be just things that he has to go through as he recovers from his knee injury.

There could be precautions that are taken still very early in camp.

But when you see him go back to the locker room in the middle of a practice, the alarm bells immediately go off because of who has to come in after the reps that took place right after Irv Smith left the field it was Johnny

Mundt and Ben Ellifson and those are two guys that are more known as

blockers now later in the practice there was an interesting development

because they were playing situational drills and Zach Davidson made two very good

catches in this situation like a last minute drive. very good

throws by Kirk Cousins but good catches by Zach Davidson
