Trent - did not participate

Team worked out former terp CB Nolan Carroll, signed former terp AJ Francis to 53.

I think we are 1 injury to Swearinger away from having the wheels come completely off this defense.

Don't agree with the last sentence. I think Allen was playing well but I think the defensive line has gotten tons deeper. Lanier has a natural pass rush skill set, and there's a number of other players on the roster who may be able to do some damage as a pocket pusher, especially since Ioannidis has established himself as someone you have to pay attention to.

I like our depth. CB is deep and safety has become deep. Hall is about to come back, and while old and coming off injury, he can still help at safety through savvy and recognition.

Swearinger is key but I think we're going to continue playing well on defense.
