New Offensive Line Emerges Amid Significant Defensive Changes
Significant changes are underway on defense as the team prepares for their upcoming match. Key players are returning, while new additions aim to strengthen the lineup.
New Defensive Lineup
- Linebacker: Trevin Wallace returns from a two-game absence and will start alongside Krys Barnes.
- Safety: Lathan Ransom is set to fill in for the suspended Tre’von Moehrig.
- Cornerback: With Horn inactive, Chau Smith-Wade will step in, complemented by special teamer Akayleb Evans.
Injuries and Additions
Corey Thornton has been placed on injured reserve due to a broken fibula, further necessitating adjustments in the secondary. To address these changes, the team has made several roster moves:
- Kalen King has been signed to the active roster from the practice squad.
- Robert Rochell has been acquired from the Cowboys practice squad.
- Isaiah Simmons has been activated and is expected to play a hybrid linebacker-safety role.
These strategic adjustments highlight the team’s commitment to reinforcing their defensive capabilities amid significant challenges. The integration of new and returning players will be crucial as they navigate this transition.
