Day three of training camp is in the books.
According to Coach Boylen, Wendell Carter Jr. did not practice today (tailbone contusion). He is day to day.
"I held out Otto and Thad (today), we just felt like they needed a veteran day. They have practiced really hard, they have been here all September."
More from the Coach:
"What I want our guys to do is to take more ownership of their teammates, how we practice, how we play, how we lose, how we win, and have it mean something to them." -Coach Boylen
