Indy Jones Shows No-Ill Effects of AchillesGotta see him in a game, but it’s hard to even tell DJ ever tore his Achilles. Modern medicine (and the work he’s put in) is remarkable. https://t.co/7KFpHLSNc3

You’d like to see them going against Pierce and Downs, but a good way to boost their confidence. https://t.co/l6qtlIkdcQ

— Noah Compton (@nerlens_) July 29, 2026Buckner Being Eased Back Into ActionThe first 11-on-11 period appeared to be a walkthrough but other than that newcomer DT Colby Wooden — who was brought in from Green Bay in the Zaire Franklin trade — was taking the reps alongside Stewart.
