Q: How concerned are you about [Dwayne] Harris and his shoulder?

A: Anytime a guy doesn’t practice, you’re concerned, but he’s a tough guy so we’ll see how it plays out the rest of the week.

Q: Is Odell [Beckham Jr.] a possibility right there?

A: Yeah, we always try and keep a lot of guys ready. We’ve had Odell, Shane [Vereen] and Rueben [Randle] all working. Shane has worked on kickoff returns and he’s had kickoff reps this year.

Q: He’s done that earlier, Shane?

A: Yeah, a couple of games.

Q: The operation with your new long snapper seemed fairly smooth.

A: Yeah, it was fine; just have to make the kick.

Q: Unusual that we’d be asking you about a struggle for Josh Brown but two kicks in two weeks for him, I guess that’s a struggle.

A: They’re not chip shot field goals, and he went back and looked at it and made sure his alignment was right, and his start was right. He’s feeling like he’s still striking the ball, he’s striking it well in practice, so he’s still confident.

Q: How difficult was it for you with Damontre [Moore] all of a sudden not being there? I’m sure you were counting on him for a lot.

A: Yeah, I mean he’s been a big factor really on our coverage teams, kickoff coverage teams, really did well in punt return, he had really a knack for blocking kicks. You just move on, you wish him the best, too bad it didn’t work out here, but he contributed well on the kickoff coverage for us.

Q: With Josh, is it just a technical thing or do you have to get in his head?

A: Obviously, it’s a confidence thing, but he’s making them in practice and so he feels good about it.
