The biggest play of the day came on a long touchdown pass from veteran backup quarterback Brian Hoyer to newly acquired wide receiver Davante Parker. On the defensive side, second-year safety Joshuah Bledsoe had an interception. Both kickers, Nick Folk and Tristan Vizcaino, made all of their attempts.

The main goal of this practice was to change up the pace and get players back into a game-like environment.
