Beyond the QB2 and WR2 stories already in circulation, the preseason opener sharpened several under-the-radar roster battles — interior D-line depth, swing tackle/guard, and the sub-package safety spot — that will shape final cuts. 2025 4th-round DT Ty Robinson, who had a slow start to camp, beat Emery Jones for a sack in the first quarter and added a pursuit tackle 3rd-round rookie OT Markel Bell didn't allow a pressure and graded as a 'people-mover' in the run game in his preseason debut OL Willie Lampkin played both center and guard and 'acquitted himself well,' per the beat report Safety Marcus Epps got starter treatment (held out) while Michael Carter II played, with Vic Fangio calling the safety competition still ongoing Second-year OT Myles Hinton was flagged for a costly hold and is now listed as third-team left tackle, a bad sign for his roster odds
