I personally put little stock into anything media says until the 1st scrimmage is complete. Routes on air is just timing practice, little else. Nothing of importance is seen by the media. Coaches hold players out over very minor stuff because they don’t want it to turn into major stuff. As camp goes along and the hitting starts, contributing players are held out just to give their bodies a break. After the 1st scrimmage the pecking order becomes clear and coaches are pretty settled on the 2 deep.
