Chip Kelly started off yesterday’s practice by greeting the media with “Happy Monday” because, with the team playing on Thursday this week instead of Saturday, the coaching staff was treating it like a normal game week which would normally start on a Monday.
He didn’t really have a whole lot to say. He declined to say whether he thought the team was ready to play Cincinnati on Thursday, choosing instead to say that they were “100% ready for a Monday practice.”
One person who Kelly said a lot about was Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder. “He’s a really good quarterback,” Kelly said.
