Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thirteen Below" data-source="post: 1066431" data-attributes="member: 18006">A few tidbits from training camp today...Nate Hobbs tore a meniscus last week, and had surgery over the weekend. Lafleur said he might have been able to play through it, but it's not an optimum way to start the season, so Hobbs and the team mutually decided to get it done now. Possible he'll be back for the opener, but more likely Valentine will start at least the first game or two.Coming back from injury was Savion Williams, who was a full participant today and mad up for lost time. He got quite a few reps, including (of course) atg least one jet sweep (stopped by Cox, who is said to be having a strong camp), and end-around for a short gain before the other Williams (Evan) got him for a short gain. He also ran some downfield routes, making an athletic circus catch against Bo Melton on the sideline, and reportedly looked good. Sounds like Lafleur is trying a variety of plays for him.Malik Heath's name came up a lot; he seems to be getting a lot of targets, and is making the most of them.ESPN said that watching Sorrel Barron, it's hard to believe you're not looking at a veteran player.A lot of 2-tight end formations today with Kraft and Musgrave on the field together; I know Matt has been looking forward to using them together for 2 years now, and is taking full advantage of having them both healthy and ready to go.ESPN also reports that Lafleur is very pleased and excited by Jordan Love coming into camp this year with a much more forceful, outspoken presence, taking command in ways that he has not done very much the  first couple of years. He's had a more quiet, laidback way of going about his business his first two years, but Lafleur said he's much more of a take-charge guy this year.Some good 1-1 battles between receivers and DB, with Doubs and Valentine going back and forth, Jayden Reed beating Bullard twice for TDs, and Nixcn looking strong against Golden - got burnt on the first rep, but forced incompletions on the next two.Devonte Wyatt was in the backfield a number of times, and Nazir Stackhouse was once again a stone wall against the run. Making a good showing for an UDFA.Cooper and McDuffie were flying around all over the field, with Cooper rocketing into the backfield to stop Jacobs for a loss, and McDuffie shutting down a reverse to Reed. Sounds like some aggressive aned smart play for the LBs.</blockquote>
