I’m a guy that has high goals for myself, and he wants me to reach those goals, so I appreciate that from him.”
“The way she did it inside-outside, she was unconscious,” U.S. coach Dawn Staley said. “She took great shots and was efficient. We knew Stewie can score, but it was her defensive effort. She chased those guards around, something she doesn’t do a whole lot. Deflections, blocked shots, made plays. super proud of the all around effort she gave us.”
Nagy also has mentioned taking a look at Badara Traore, an undrafted free agent a year ago out of LSU. He worked at left tackle with the second and third teams and had a rough go in the padded practice, especially in one-on-one pass-rush drills. Before the day was over, Alex Bars, who had been playing right guard, was taking snaps at left tackle with the second team. Add it all up and the Bears have rolled four players — Wilkinson, Borom, Traore and Bars — through the first two units at left tackle since camp opened.

We talk about not coaching the aggressiveness out of a player, but you’ve got to be careful. You’ve got to understand that you’re building up your legs.”

With Jenkins out, veteran Elijah Wilkinson had been working at left tackle with the first-team offense during the first week of practice. But Wilkinson also was absent Tuesday, with the team declining to provide a reason. That gave rookie Larry Borom, a fifth-round pick out of Missouri, a window of opportunity to test himself on the left side against the starting defense.
