Cornerback (5)
Tre’Davious White, Josh Norman, Levi Wallace, Taron Johnson, Dane Jackson
Cuts: Cam Lewis, Brian Allen
Slow and steady has kind of been the way we’ve seen Dane Jackson’s trajectory in training camp. He hasn’t had any crazy big days, but with EJ Gaines opting out, Jackson’s been there. He provides depth both at inside and outside cornerback. There could be a diamond in the rough with him, especially if Buffalo eases him into action.
The top-three of Tre’Davious White, Josh Norman and Levi Wallace are set. Actually we’ll make that four since Taron Johnson has quietly held down the slot duties for the past few seasons now. Norman is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, but was seen working out a bit on the sideline and has returned to doing some stuff during the limited viewing portions of practice this week, so he should be good by the season opener.
And now for a sneak preview of the next page: Siran Neal. The safety can also come down and provide depth in the box as a cornerback inside, so he’d be your sixth defensive back in this group, if called upon. Lewis is a practice squad candidate while Allen just appeared to be a signing as a training camp body.
