Receiver Alec Pierce was a new addition to the injury report and did not participate, reasons were undisclosed.
Braden Smith and Ashton Dulin continue to be absent from practice. Smith is recovering from offseason knee surgery while Dulin is still dealing with an ACL injury from last summer. There is no timeline yet for their return.
