Rookie Jaishawn Barham is lighting up training camp with standout coverage plays, including a pass breakup on CeeDee Lamb and shutting down a wheel route — even earning reps with the starters. He’s not alone: Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence made a big defensive stop, Michael Trigg snagged his first TD, Camden Brown hauled in an end-zone catch, and Anthony Smith flashed athleticism. On offense, George Pickens is dialed in every play — blocking, running routes with intensity, and treating every snap like a real game. Defense has also improved dramatically, with better communication before the snap — a huge step from last year. But there’s bad news too: Jalen Thompson (hip flexor), Zion Childress (hamstring), and P.J. Locke (knee) are sidelined, and Jaydon Blue dropped his first interception of camp — a wake-up call he needs to fix fast.
