— Morris said before practice that neither Penix nor Kirk Cousins will play in Friday’s preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Easton Stick and Emory Jones will share quarterback responsibilities. Otherwise, because the team is younger this year, Morris said a lot more players will see the field compared to last preseason. Exactly how much will be better determined after Wednesday’s scrimmage.

— Speaking of the quarterbacks, Penix completed 13 of his 15 passes in 11-on-11 work. He was 2-of-3 in the red zone specifically, throwing touchdown passes to tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (with cornerbacks Lamar Jackson and Clark Phillips III in coverage) and to wide receiver Drake London (with nickel Dee Alford in coverage). Cousins completed 10 of his 12 passes in 11-on-11 work. He was 2-of-3 in the red zone and scored on a run himself that elicited cheers from fans on the hill. Stick and Jones only threw one pass attempt apiece, and both connected. Stick found tight end Feleipe Franks. Jones hit wide receiver Nick Nash.

— Cousins threw the sole interception on the day, getting picked off by cornerback Cobee Bryant. It was a deeper pass down the left sideline intended for wide receiver DJ Chark, who continues to take reps primarily with the second-team offense.

— Penix had a really nice throw to wide receiver Casey Washington during the “mamba” period in which the first-team offense and defense line up against each other. Cornerback Mike Hughes was in coverage. Overall, Washington had a substantial increase in reps with the first-team offense Monday. With Mooney still out with a shoulder injury, there’s an opening for Washington to make his name known as a possible replacement in the meantime.

— During position drills, Morris tried to press wide receiver Drake London. Morris found himself knocked down to the ground in the process. London must have gotten briefly distracted because he missed a one-handed catch that followed.

— With Norton missing, rookie Jack Nelson filled in as the second team’s right tackle.

— Inside linebacker JD Bertrand was present but not participating in 11-on-11 work. The second-team linebackers were mainly Caleb Johnson and Josh Woods. That position is one that could use more depth with Andersen already on the PUP list and now Bertrand apparently facing limitations.

— Edge rusher James Pearce Jr. found himself in another scuffle, this time against offensive lineman Tyrone Wheatley Jr. It was quickly broken up by Morris and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, though, so not much else to say there.

— Kickers Younghoe Koo and Lenny Krieg got four boots apiece. Koo made every one. Krieg missed one. It was difficult to tell the distances.
