Checking on some former Oklahoma State players who were in NFL rookie minicamps either this past weekend or the weekend before that:

Justin Blackmon missed the last day of Jaguars’ minicamp with a sore right foot, but is scheduled to be back to practice when OTAs begin Tuesday. “We saw what we had to see [the first two days] and got a good chance to install and be around him and him be around us,” coach Mike Mularkey said. “We just felt it would smart on his part if we just held him out of the drills and have him ready to go with OTAs. …Is it worth the risk [to have him practice]? Why push it at this point when we’ve really got 15 practices still to go [in the offseason].” (Via the Florida Times-Union)

Brandon Weeden is ready to compete with Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace for the Browns’ starting quarterback job. “Obviously, we’re all here and we’re going to help each other,” Weeden said. “We’re human beings. That’s really what it comes down to. I’m going to be asking questions to those guys. They’ve been doing it for a couple years. Seneca for 10.” Story also features some funny comments from Josh Cooper (who reportedly had an impressive camp) about a Weeden ball dislocating two of his fingers his sophomore season at OSU and about Weeden being mobile “for how old he is.” (Via the Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Here are some photos of Cooper (wearing No. 88) during minicamp on the Browns’ official site. He’s talking to Browns coach Pat Shurmur in this one, and getting ready to make the catch in this one
