Marquess Wilson sustained a fractured left foot at the start
of Tuesday's first minicamp practice and will have surgery on
Monday, June 20. "Could be a possibility that he starts the
season on PUP, but we won't know those things yet from a timing
aspect," coach John Fox said. The injury actually is a
re-fracture. Wilson suffered a fracture last season and in
December had surgery on it.
G Kyle Long has inherited the leadership job with the offensive
line after veterans Roberto Garza and Matt Slauson left over the
course of a two-year period. It's an especially important role
since offensive linemen always tend to be among a team's closest
knit groups. "Obviously without Matt, we kind of looked around
and were like 'who's going to do this?'" Long said.
CB Tracy Porter generally drew praise as one of general manager
Ryan Pace's real finds in free agency, but he expects to get
better at one thing this season. "I definitely want to have more
interceptions," he said. "I only had one. That's the key thing,
not only me but the entire secondary. We want to get our hands
on the ball more."
