The No. 2 quarterback is listed as Kyle Wright. The No. 1 quarterback is listed as everybody else: Alex Smith, Shaun Hill and J.T. O'Sullivan are crammed into the same starting spot.
In other depth-chart news, Moran Norris is listed as the starting fullback over Zak Keasey in one of training camp's closest battles.
Isaac Bruce and Bryant Johnson are the starting receivers, with Arnaz Battle listed behind Bruce and Jason Hill penciled in behind Johnson.
