What happened: Coach Glenn highlighted David Bailey's approach to preparation Wednesday, pointing to the rookie edge rusher's professionalism. Glenn noted that Bailey's work ethic and daily focus stood out immediately upon joining the team.
Why it matters: Glenn previously cited Bailey's progress following the 2026 draft, where the pass rusher was selected second overall. That maturity has translated directly to early defensive production as Bailey establishes himself along the front seven.
By the numbers: Bailey has made 44 tackles with 7.5 sacks in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Bailey looks to maintain his disruptive rookie pace as the defense prepares for its upcoming regular-season contest.
