Starting right guard Isaiah Adams landed on the first injury report of Week One and it unfortunately came with a DNP tag as he sat out all of practice. If he is unable to progress over the next two days, then 27-year old Jon Gaines II will be in line to start in his place.
Gaines (6’4, 303 pounds) has five career starts since being drafted in the fourth round out of UCLA in 2023. In 2025, Gaines ranked 43rd out of 81 guards with a 60.3 overall grade by Pro Football Focus.
