3. Roster battles in the secondary
The competition at quarterback isn’t the only roster battle that will be going on in training camp. In fact, there are two starting jobs in the secondary up for grabs at cornerback and safety following the departures of Prince Amukamara and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. When it comes to the vacant strong safety job, it’s going to come down to free-agent acquisition Tashaun Gipson and Deon Bush, although Gipson should have the edge.
But cornerback is more complicated. Even with the release of former CFL star Tre Roberson, who suffered a broken foot in the offseason, rookie Jaylon Johnson will the battle the likes of Kevin Toliver and free-agent addition Artie Burns for the starting job opposite Kyle Fuller. But, like with the QB battle, the lack of reps will certainly hurt these secondary battles.
