Five Practice Observations: Day 1

1. Kelvin off to a great start: If wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was nervous or tentative during his first full practice since tearing his ACL, he did a good job hiding it.

“It could be a good harbinger for us seeing Kelvin maybe not at top form but pretty doggone good form,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “He’s still got a ways to go to get back in game shape, but it was really good to see him move around like that.”

Benjamin practiced with confidence and made tough catches look easy – something he did throughout last year’s training camp prior to the injury.
