On WR Ladd McConkey battling through injury…
“It’s always tough to do that with an injury, but I think Ladd has done a really good job of staying locked in and staying with the team. We’re just trying to support him through it all because I know he wants to be out there and playing. He’s staying ready, and we’ll see how he does the next couple of weeks.”
On making more rep counts in practice with injuries…
“Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t. You get tired out there. They do a good job at managing our reps throughout practice with lower numbers, and its stayed pretty consistent throughout the whole season even though we’ve had some injures. They’ve been doing a good job at working some other people into spots.”
On Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift dating…
“It’s kind of a win for the tight ends, I guess. It’s getting a whole lot of media coverage; I’ve seen it everywhere.”

On how important Javon Bullard and communication are for the defense...
"Javon is definitely one of the leaders on the defense. He's definitely one of the people on the team that makes the communication lines easier. We believe in our guys that the coach puts on the field to replace him or have his spot until he comes back. I wouldn't say it's a loss, but it's a gap to fill. Everyone always has to be heard on the communication lines and, like I said, communication goes from youth league to the pros. Communication is everything."
On developing communication during practice...
"We have speakers in our indoor facility. Coach turns it up loud as loud as possible. I think he broke the volume panel to turn it up. He makes it super loud in there so when gameday comes it's easier. The volume is lower on gameday than we expect because our ears are blasted out from Monday through Thursday. That's what he does, turns the speakers up, all the way up, and just has a static sound blasting."
