Bateman Absent From OTAs For Personal Reasons

Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle explained that Bateman has been dealing with "some personal things" that have kept him away from recent OTAs. Despite his absence, Doyle noted that Bateman has been in the building for much of the offseason, working out individually.

"He was here that first week, and we were able to work him in quite a bit," Doyle said. Bateman, who dealt with a high right ankle sprain last season, caught only 19 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games last season. cricket-ipl.co.za
