Jameson Geers - On field for fall camp Geers (wrist) has been on the field to participate in Minnesota's fall camp, Ryan Burns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Geers' previously injured hand has fully healed, and he will look to finally make the big step that has evaded him for two years now. Both years, he logged two receptions, barely scraping 10 yards with his catches. But both times, Geers was not a primary option at tight end, something that is expected to be less of an issue during 2023.

Daniel Jackson - Running routes Sunday Jackson (undisclosed) ran routes during practice Sunday, Kane Rob of Locked On Golden Gophers reports.

Impact Jackson running routes and catching thrown balls from quarterbacks indicates he is healthy for the first time since Minnesota's 2023 season. It saw him establish career highs in receptions (59), receiving yards (831) and touchdowns (eight). Jackson has established himself as a proven player by now, making him the Gophers' most promising wideout going into their 2024 season, expected to be his last should he stay healthy.
