Gaines looked great during his rookie season in 2014, and as Myles Simmons of the team’s official website reports, the former sixth-round pick has been getting some work with the first-team defense as well.


Gaines had already made his return to practice a week prior, but now it seems that nothing will hold him back after missing the entirety of the 2015 season with a Linsfranc foot injury. The 24-year-old figures to start at cornerback in only his second active year in the league after 15 appearances in 2014.

After missing all of last season because of a foot injury, he is eager to get back onto the field during a game.

“It will definitely be a big step for me in my rehab process, getting out there and getting live reps and hitting people,” he said of Saturday’s exhibition. “It’s been a full year.”
