S Tyrann Mathieu was never quite right in 2016 as he continued to recover from a torn ACL. He was back to his All-Pro form in camp, picking off numerous passes and blanketing receivers consistently.

S Budda Baker missed almost all of the offseason work, but proved to be a quick learner in camp, ascending quickly to the second team. While Baker isn't expected to start on defense when the season kicks off, his natural talent and play-making ability will be another option in DC James Bettcher's arsenal.

When training camp started, QB Blaine Gabbert was in a fight to make the team. He played so well that there were legitimate questions about his ability to challenge Drew Stanton for the backup job. Stanton remains the No. 2, but Gabbert seems exceedingly likely to secure a roster spot.

DT Robert Nkemdiche had a frustrating rookie season, but was a new player in camp. He was the disruptive force the team envisioned when it made him a first-round pick in 2016. Nkemdiche strained his calf this week, but the team expects to get him back by the opener.

WR Jaron Brown tore his ACL last season, an injury that can linger for several months after a player returns to action. He showed no ill effects in camp and actually improved his standing. Brown is currently the team's No. 2 receiver with John Brown's health in flux.
