If you're not putting Hubbard on IR it's probably best to roll with what you got. These back-ups made the team for a reason, now they need to step up and show why.
DE Terrell Lewis wouldn't be a "Guy off the street." He was #3 on the LA Rams' depth chart and just was released earlier this week to allow more snaps for the #2 DEs ahead of him in a 3-4 scheme. So he's in shape and could be plugged in immediately. At 6'5 275-lbs he'd also be #3 on our depth chart. Think about it, Ossai is a situational pass rusher. Sample out of Tulane will fill in for Sam, and Gunter hasn't made any progress this year.
