Popular question. My understanding is Kadarius Toney has been in attendance and healthy. Get a chance to see it for the first time today.

He's there, but he is DJ'ing not practicing.
This would be intrigue that we don’t need. I could understand it if Gettleman was still GM and Judge was still HC. Schoen and Daboll appear to be much less paranoid.

I don't think they want to be seen as pointing out who is and who is not at an optional activity. Makes it sort of not optional if you are taking and reporting attendance.

Probably easier to start saying when Toney does not have a red shirt, the red shirt has become the default
This is good news.
✔
@NYPost_Schwartz
Brian Daboll said Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay will be wearing red jerseys, as both are on some sort of injury/physical restrictions.
This is good news.
Totally agree. This doesn’t mean they have new injuries. They are being cautious with guys who were beat up the year before. Smart. Them being there is the most important thing.
This is good news.
I agree, no need for them to injure a hamstring or anything that might carry over to training camp. I'm just glad that they are both there and engaged. Let's hope that they keep it up.

So far in the OTAs Jerren Williams has been working with the safeties.
@Dan_Salomone
Brian Daboll said they’re discussing the possibility of joint practices in training camp.
Have a feeling Daboll doesn't subscribe to the idea that the starters don't need to play in preseason games because joint practices (with QBs and certain others in red jerseys) are supposedly more useful.
Before last year, I'd never seen starters play so little in preseason and probably never seen them look so unprepared when the reg season started.
Today's media is saying that Williams is strictly working out with the Safeties group today.
