General News And Notes From Training Camp

• Delone Carter, once thought to be in-line for the starting running back job in 2011, is now working almost exclusively with the third string offense. This essentially means he's as good as cut.
• Cassius Vaughn has moved into the role as starting corner opposite Vontae Davis while Greg Toler recovers from his "not serious" concussion.
• Darius Butler is working solely as the slot corner.
• Rookie offensive guard Hugh Thornton was seen Friday without a protective boot on his foot.
• Rookie center Khaled Holmes is now apparently wearing that boot, nursing the same ankle he injured at USC last year.
• Pat Angerer, who is still on the PUP list, was seen with a protective leg wrap. This is interesting because he is not recovering from a knee or leg injury. At least, not that we know of. He had two surgeries on his foot this offseason.
• Mike McGlynn is the starting right guard.
• Tedy Williams is the No. 1 corner for the second unit defense. Josh Gordy is the No. 2 corner for that defense. When Toler returns, Williams will slide to No. 2, Cassius Vaughn will be No. 1, and Josh Gordy gets sent to the third string.
• Kelvin Sheppard is the starting inside linebacker along with Jerrell Freeman.
• Josh McNary is being utilized as an ILB, not an OLB.
• Lawrence Sidbury has been used in practice as a "joker" linebacker, roaming behind the defensive line. Sidbury was a defensive end with the Falcons last year.
• Stanley Havili is firmly entrenched as the team's fullback. The offense even utilizes him on passing downs, splitting him out wide on a few occasions.
• Pat McAfee has been used to kick 60+ yard field goals.
• Griff Whalen has been his holder in those situations.
• Whalen and Lanear Sampson have both seen time at wide receiver with the No. 1 offense.
• Chandler Harnish has looked very impressive.
• T.Y. Hilton, Kerwynn Williams, Jabin Sambrano, Sampson, and Whalen have seen time at returner on special teams.
• Donald Brown worked as a gunner on special teams.
• Ben Ijalana is working as the left tackle on the third string offense.
