Jenkins’ and Bakhtiari’s activations from the PUP list alter the dynamic up front considerably, as you’d expect with two All-Pro level players returning to action. The good news is that their absences gave the team’s many young linemen ample work in practice and games, which will help the coaches sort out their best five linemen entering the Sept. 11 openers. Jones is fascinating because he dropped a ton of weight, is a mountain of a man \u2014 he’s listed at 6-foot-9 and 379 pounds but said recently he’s down to 338 pounds \u2014 and has remarkable feet for a guy his size. Still, he’s a project who’s likely to be on the practice squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThose guys have gotten a lot of great work. It hasn’t always been pretty,\u201d LaFleur acknowledged when asked about the value of the young line’s extensive playing time and practice work against the Packers’ No. 1 defense. \u201cThey’re going up against a pretty good front (in practice) and those guys have taken their lumps, but I’ve also seen a lot of improvement as well. I think they’ve performed pretty well in our two preseason games, so we’re looking to continue to build upon that in this next preseason game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
