Working in 11-on-11 drills, Gabbert fumbled four times and threw an interception. Three of the fumbles and the pick occurred on the first eight plays when Gabbert was leading the first-team offense against the starting defense.
After beginning the session with a handoff to running back Maurice Jones-Drew, Gabbert fumbled the snap exchange from center Brad Meester. The ball rolled toward the defense, but the play was blown dead before the ball could be recovered.
On the next play, Gabbert held the ball in the pocket looking for a receiver, then ran into guard Will Rackley and lost control of it. Again, the play was blown dead before the ball was recovered.
Gabbert then fumbled the next snap, but quickly grabbed the ball and completed a short pass to receiver Cecil Shorts.
Gabbert suffered another fumble later in the practice, but was able to corral the ball and attempt a pass.
?They can?t happen and that falls on me,? Gabbert said. ?We have good centers and good snaps. You just work on it. They?re going to happen, but you want to minimize them. It?s an unforced error that we can?t afford to have happen.?
Gabbert?s second series ended when he slightly underthrew Shorts on the left sideline. Cornerback Alan Ball showed good anticipation, turning around and leaping up to snag the ball.
Unofficially, Gabbert was 18 of 30 on the day and none of his completions brought the crowd to cheers.
