• On the competition between Sonny Styles and C.J. Hicks at linebacker: "Sonny has really stepped up and played well. ... He's looking forward to playing in a game and getting an idea of what it all looks like. ... In practice, he's playing fast, he's playing violent." Day called Styles "the leader in the clubhouse" to start at Will linebacker next to Cody Simon.

• On Sonny Styles, him filling in at Mike linebacker in the season opener: "He's a very serious young man for his age. Very mature. He came in early, and because of that, he's matured even quicker than we probably thought." Day said Styles puts in work off the field "that nobody sees." Day praised Styles for his work in the weight room with Mick Marotti and the film room with James Laurinaitis. "That's gonna pay off down the road for him. Very versatile."
