In this story:

Once the practice began, the highlights kept coming. Below is a collection of the best from Thursday’s work.

Deuce Is Loose

Here’s a look at him breaking off a huge run, which is becoming the norm this camp.

Matt Eberflus Influence
The defense had some fun as well, with Malik Hooker picking off Prescott — and doing so in style.

Hooker wasn’t the only defensive back making highlight-reel plays. Undrafted free agent Zion Childress picked off Joe Milton with one hand as well.

Later in practice, Troy Pride broke up a pass intended for Parris Campbell, which would have been a touchdown.

Bazooka Joe Fires Back
Milton atoned for his earlier pick with a dart fit into a tight window, where he hit KaVontae Turpin.
