Ejiro Evero On the Loss of Shaq Thompson, Chinn's Snaps, Luvu's Performance + More

On losing Shaq Thompson for the season

"Shaq's deal is unfortunate. Talk about a professional, a player I admire as much as anyone I've ever been around. He's a leader. He's a heck of a football player. He's a communicator. He's a team builder. He's a glue guy and we're definitely going to miss him, but the show goes on."

If Kamu Grugier-Hill will fill in for Shaq Thompson

'We're still trying to work through all of those different things. We felt really good about how Kamu played in the game. Debo [Deion Jones] is obviously going to be up now and he's going to provide some depth. We're kind of working those rotational things. Chandler Wooten is also in play, so we're kind of considering everybody."

Jeremy Chinn seeing less snaps in Week 2

"Just the flow of the game. The first week was obviously more of a run-heavy deal. Last week, the game became more of a pass game until the end and that's where Jeremy's role is right now. There's going to be some third down roles as well. But again, the deal with Shaq has a trickle-down effect, so we're kind of working through all of those different things."

Frankie Luvu's play through two weeks

"He's phenomenal. Great player playing off the ball. He can play on the edge. He's a weapon on third down. There's very few people in the league that can match his play style. It's relentless. It's non-stop, it's every play. He never takes a down off. We're really fortunate to have him."
