Dan Quinn speaks with the media before practice

Dan Quinn said they are focused on load management with players like Johnny Newton and Jonathan Allen, and the Stallworth signing adds depth to the DL. He said that rookie QB Jayden Daniels will play in the preseason opener against the New York Jets on Saturday.
