Bradley McDougald is in as New York’s starting strong safety with Jamal Adams off to Seattle. Ashtyn Davis will likely see more of an increased role at safety with Adams gone, but McDougald will be the starter at the position entering 2020.

Matthias Farley now has the upper hand for the final backup safety spot, as Bennett Jackson was going to need a standout preseason to make the team.
