Step 1 as an NFL rookie? Prove you’re not lost in space.
“Both those guys have exceeded my expectations,” coach Nathaniel Hackett said after practice Wednesday. “Anytime you’ve got rookies coming in, you always have second-guesses as a coach as to how much they’re going to be able to contribute to your team. And I think for both those guys, both on special teams and defense, they have shown that the is not too big for them.”
With veteran cornerback Ronald Darby sidelined for a week with a chest injury , Mathis and Hicks both got more reps at cornerback in practice. Both are trying to capitalize on those increased opportunities to prove they deserve a spot on the initial 53-man roster. They’ll have two more preseason games worth of chances — Saturday at Buffalo and Aug. 27 vs. Minnesota — because Hackett is unlikely to play the starters.
