Trent Brown has been cleared to practice. Now we get to see the real RT battle. Glad Mims got some solid camp time at the position though

Great news, but has anyone told him the Mims has "already earned" the starting RT gig?

Great news, just hope TB can get in shape before the regular season. If not, Mims will start in the opener.
Cannot have an out of shape guy at RT no matter how good he is when healthy and fit.

Bench him and start Mims. He wants it more. It may be ugly at first but he'll get it as the season goes on.
Although, if Mims is only blocking Myles Murphy and a bunch of scrubs, then i'll need to see a preseason game first.

I just like that we have depth at the tackle spot.
I'm pumped for the season!
This gives Mims good reps or lets him take over the starting role.
Either way is good.

Welcome news, can never have enough good O-Linemen

Cleared but still unable to practice.... I'm not impressed. Too much goes on with Brown at all spots he's been at. You bench Mims now and when it's time to play he'll be starting all over with the gains he's made thus far this offseason. It isn't just a week into training camp that Mims has built chemistry with the starting Oline. It's been all offseason.
What more do you want from a 1st round pick at a premium position of need, at a position you see rookies excel at?
