With Sam LaPorta sidelined, Dan Cambell commended the tight end room for stepping up.

“Yeah, those guys were flawless. James Mitchell was removed from the practice squad. He arrived and performed for us. I believed I played a good game. He had performed for us previously, so it wasn’t too large for him. “That went well,” Campbell remarked. “Dude, I thought Brock did the heavy lifting for us. He had to perform a wide range of tasks and played a lot of snaps and reps. He performs the grunt work, the run game, and the protection, as we all know; his protection was excellent. After then, Zylstra has become a kind of need for us for the past four weeks or so. simply goes about his business and performs his duties in silence.
