There have been a few players thus far through these two days of camp that have made solid impressions on the coaching staff. Among them are TE Marcus Baugh, DE Jordan Brailford, DL Ryan Anderson, and LT Geron Christian.

It is too early in camp to be declaring any position battles won just yet, but the reps that these players are getting early on can be monumental down the road, as they work to make the final roster cut and get an increase of snaps on the field once the regular season comes around. Without preseason games this year, this work that players are getting in training camp is of the utmost importance, and it will be intriguing to watch how they continue to take advantage of it going forward.
