"I think both he and Kaluka (Maiava) are moving forward a little bit each week. They've gotten work with the defensive unit through the course of practice. He's been up for those games, so he has to be ready to play. When that opportunity will come, or when he'll get reps, there will be some times when we may cycle those guys through, to try to distribute the reps." (Cleveland Leader)
Asked if there is something specific Veikune needs to do to get on the field with the defense, Mangini said:
"He has some versatility, which is positive. He's worked outside. He's worked inside. He needs to keep improving with his overall understanding of the defense, of that week's opponent and contributing on special teams. Sometimes, you go to the game and you may not get any defensive reps, or offensive reps, but you make a real impact on teams. What we're look for, ideally, is everybody that goes to the game has an impact in whatever role they're asked to play." (Cleveland Leader)
