TE Mike Gesicki

(On returning to practice) – “It feels good. I’m happy to be back. Just being back around the guys, getting out there and competing, (it was) a good day. I’m just happy to go out and play some football.”

(Do you feel any lingering effects?) – “Nah. Honestly, I felt good. I kind of surprised myself how I felt. I’m ready to roll. I went out there, got the cobwebs off, made a few plays and all of that kind of stuff. It was good. A good day.”

(What did you see out of QB Tua Tagovailoa in this joint practice?) – “I thought Tua had a great day. I thought collectively as an offense, we had a good day. (We were) making plays, using the snap count to our benefit. Up front, I think they had a good day creating holes in the running game and giving Tua some time to get back and make some plays. The receivers, tight ends and backs made some plays downfield so it was good.”

(No easing back into practice for you. It’s straight into joint practices. Did you like that?) – “Yeah, absolutely. It was fun. It beats the heat down in Miami, especially after not doing anything for 10 days. It was good to just get back out there, get sweating and go make some plays, like I said. It was fun.”

(How did you stay in shape?) – “Well, there’s not much that you can do, honestly. You can’t really go out or anything like that. I was up in my apartment. I got an AssaultBike on my balcony. I rode that a little bit. I had some dumbbells in the living room. It was really just making it work for 10 days. It is what it is. You’ve got to follow the protocols and do what you’re supposed to do.”

(You didn’t look very rusty.) – “I felt good, honestly. I felt good. I had to go out there and catch a couple of balls before practice. Normally I catch a ton throughout the day on my own, so that was tough going 10 days without that. I was throwing it up and down to myself in my apartment.”
