What happened: Reese recorded two tackles and one stop without a missed tackle in his preseason debut. The No. 5 overall pick handled an off-ball assignment in that first outing.

Why it matters: The clean start gives coaches an early baseline before regular-season roles are set. Continued work inside would clarify how Reese's college edge experience translates to the NFL.

What to watch: His snap share and alignment in the regular-season opener will show whether the preseason assignment sticks.
