The healthy defensive linemen
At times, it was easier to discuss which defensive linemen were actually practicing as opposed to those who were out. Shy Tuttle, Kyle Phillips, Kahlil McKenzie, Jonathan Kongbo and Kendal Vickers all missed at least some portion of spring practice.
So the few survivors, primarily Alexis Johnson, Quay Picou, Deandre Johnson and Darrell Taylor, got plenty of opportunities. That should be valuable as several of them look to carve out a spot in the rotation in 2017.
