Based on last week, Haden will be replaced in the starting lineup by Ahkello Witherspoon. With Finney out, swing lineman John Leglue should get the start. As for Spillane, he came off the Reserve/COVID-19 list this week but is still dealing with a knee injury. Buggs’ reps will likely go to newly acquired defensive tackle Montravius Adams.
