MORE NOTES
... The second-team offense moved the chains twice in a six-play series against the No. 1 defense, converting two third downs -- one on a 5-yard pass from Kevin Hogan to Austin Fort, and another on a 9-yard Hogan pass to Steven Dunbar Jr. on third-and-8.
But the two-minute drill work ended quickly -- and with Adam Gotsis celebrating a rare pick-six. He jumped to intercept a Drew Lock pass at the line of scrimmage and galloped 21 yards to the end zone, punctuating his score with an Australian-football-style punt.
... Things went better for Lock in the seven-on-seven period. He hit Fred Brown down the left seam for a 35-yard connection, then found Brendan Langley on a deep out for a 23-yard gain. Lock completed his next pass to Nick Williams before that segment of the period ended.
“He had some good periods here today. I think he did his best work in the seven-on-seven [period], which isn’t football, but it’s progress,” Fangio said.
... With Von Miller not at practice in order to attend a funeral and Dekoda Watson held out from team-period work, Jeff Holland saw the most extensive first-team action of his career to date. He flourished, forcing two incompletions with pressure.
... Outside linebacker Malik Reed also moved up the depth chart with Miller and Watson out. During one period, he defused a draw from Hogan to Booker by closing from the backside, then two plays later stunted through the A-gap, closing on Hogan so fast that Don Barclay had little he could do but reach out and hold, which led to a flag.
... Kelvin McKnight continued his strong camp, punctuating his day with a 6-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Brett Rypien during a team red-zone period.
... Khalfani Muhammad saw a smattering of first-team repetitions in the seven-on-seven period. He moved up with Phillip Lindsay sidelined after what Fangio said was a chiropractic treatment where "the guy overdid it."
... Cornerback Isaac Yiadom worked with the first team throughout the practice after Bryce Callahan left because his foot was stepped on early in practice.
