I haven't heard anything about any of our guys yet, and that's not really surprising. These minicamps and OTAs are almost impossible to get info out of...especially for our guys that are all UDFAs.

Most of these are highly restricted access (and they're barely even practices anyhow...no pads, etc). I think the media might get one day a week that they can observe, and you can bet that a bulk of their time will be spent watching the first round picks or key FA additions. They're not really going to be paying real close attention to the UDFA guys.

Gates was invited to camp to try out (one of 20). He was not one of the four offered… Not sure what he is doing now.

Jairus Campbell got some playing time in the second half of the Chiefs/Bengals game last night. Had a solo tackle and a pass deflected. Looked pretty good for only having been in the system for four days.

Bayer did well at both TE and some H-back. Announcers spoke well of him. Nothing fantastic but very solid and versatile.

He was the leader in receptions, yards, and longest reception. I'd say that's a good start. He's a versatile guy and an awesome receiving TE. He's got a good chance there.

Hopefully this will earn him more first half reps.

Chris Jones was dominant today. He had six tackles, three for loss, and two sacks, and led the team in all three categories ... :-D

Awesome!

I believe that was Chandler Jones. Chris is out until the start of the season with an ankle injury.

(I could be wrong)

Unless ESPN got it wrong, it is in fact Chris Jones who dominated.
NE Defense TACKLES SACKS TFL INT TD
Chris Jones 6 2 3 0 0

Chandler Jones had no stats to report. It is possible ESPN confused the two ...
