On wide receiver Wallace Wright's season-ending injury being a big blow: Yeah. I felt worse for him. He's worked very hard this offseason and was having a tremendous camp. He'll require surgery on his shoulder; that's why he hit the IR list. Of course we're disappointed, and so is he.
On how losing Wright affects special teams: He was a guy that we were counting on pretty heavily, both at the receiver position and in the kicking game. We've got ![]()

On the importance of the final preseason game for Cantwell and Pike since they have not had many reps: I wouldn't say that. We watch them every day. We get a lot of game-type reps in practice. They're evaluated every day, and obviously games hold a little bit more importance. We've played three, have got one left and have had a whole bunch of practices where we've watched both of them.
On if injuries have contributed to the struggles on special teams: Injuries are a part of this game. Every team in the league deals with them, including us. We've had a few along the way over our tenure here. Some of those guys are back healthy, and we've lost some. The next guy has got to step up. It's something everybody fights. I think we've shown steady improvement - whether it be on offense, defense or special teams - throughout the preseason.
