Open quotes!
"It's been a big week. It's been really good energy in camp, especially from some of the newer guys, they've come in and just put themselves out there and given their absolute best – it's been awesome to see," says Cameron.
"We've chosen our squad of 14 based on a lot of different reasons and merits, and we feel this is the best group going forward. It's been tough for sure, but from the start, we knew a couple [of players] wouldn't make the final cut, it is what it is, and everyone here knows how it works."
