Chase Claypool remains injured, but receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said he’s nonetheless been happy with his training camp performance.

“Making contested catches,” Tolbert said before Wednesday’s practice. “If he’s not open and guys are still on him, he still makes the catch. So I like that about him. And he should. He’s 6-5 or whatever it is. He’s gonna say 6-13.”
