What happened: The public session is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. after Sunday’s off day. Four acclimation practices preceded the move to padded work.

Why it matters: Coaches get their first contact evaluation before the preseason schedule begins Aug. 14.

By the numbers: The first padded practice comes five days after camp opened July 29.

What to watch: Watch for depth-chart movement as contact drills sharpen position battles.
