Bailey and punter Matt Wile, who has stitches in his thumb from a cut he suffered in the preseason opener, spoke to media members on Tuesday.
“There’s no need for panic or anything on this end,” Bailey said. “I mean, it’s just a matter of getting the whole operation going in a good rhythm, cleaning up little things on my end specifically and then just trying to build off that. I think we’re headed in the right direction. Today was a good indicator of that. I felt like we had a good day as a unit. You just have to move forward and do your best.”
Wile said his injury is “just kind of a freak thing that happened on the sideline, and it happened right before the first punt, just sliced my thumb open.”
“We put a little gauze on it real fast, ran out there for that first punt, and then we had to go to the locker room afterwards to stitch it up,” Wile added.
In the meantime, Beebe has been handling the holding duties.
Bailey said Beebe is “as-advertised” with all-around athleticism and the ability to “pretty much do a little bit of everything.”
“More than anything, his attitude about the whole thing has been fantastic,” Bailey said. “I mean, he very much just has the attitude of, ‘What can I do to help?’ He’s been coming out early with us before practice, and I know he’s got tons of responsibility on offense, but it’s been good to kind of get a couple of days now working with him, and we’ll see how it goes moving forward.”
