Weather: Players practiced under a cloudy sky with temperatures in the high 80s and a steady breeze with occasional gusts.
Head Coach Todd Bowles on the team working to improve its tackling: "We've got to tackle better. We're getting to the ball, we've just got to tackle better, and we understand that as a defense. That's one of the biggest areas we're looking for improvement in."
Quarterback Baker Mayfield on how the team has responded in practice after the loss to Denver: "Good. I wouldn't expect anything else from this group but to handle it – take this one on the chin. Like we said, the Broncos outplayed us. They brought the fire and the passion that we didn't have, and it'll be good for us to get back out there on Sunday."
