HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on the injuries) Training Camp

Chris Laskowski injured his shoulder on the opening kickoff."

HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY (on players adjusting from Tokyo Trip) Training Camp

"That was probably the highlight for me. Going to the U.S.S. Blue Ridge and visiting with a lot of the sailors was a phenomenal experience.

We had a great time with them and we wish them all the best."
