Well, based on what every other NFL team does I would say evaluate him on the practice field.
Even when you are dealing with backups you don't see teams rotate every one they have at a particular position. Instead they pick the one they feel is the best and play him. If he struggles and they feel they might have someone better then they will try someone better. But most of the time they will pick the best looking guy from practice and stick with him.
Most back ups struggle when they get into games. This is because they are not as good as the starters. But it does not mean there is an equal chance the guy below him on the depth chart is better.
