A camp-high 11 players sat out practice, the most interesting being left tackle Kelvin Beachum. Cleared in late July following ACL surgery last October, Beachum’s team reps have been minimal and he has yet to take a one-on-one pass protection snap.
Beachum’s absence was described as equal parts scheduled day off and knee soreness.
Asked if he was surprised by Beachum’s lack of activity so far in camp, offensive coordinator Greg Olson said: “No, we kind of knew that going in. … We were happy with the fact he was able to start from Day One. Really, [the day off] is preventative.
