ROLL CALL: Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and right tackle Trent Brown, who went on the non-football injury list, didn’t practice. Neither did cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, recovering from getting his tonsils out.

BIG WILLIE: Because of personal issues, Trent Brown didn’t work much in the spring and that gave first-round pick Amarius Mims enough time with the first group that has everyone impressed.
