per Jim O...dislocated elbow further tests needed to see what kind of soft tissue damage (remember Eifert tore the ligaments too). Best case scenario..Oct return

Shaw should step right in

Clayton Fejedelem - year 2 - (Shown improvement)
George Iloka - year 6 - (Injured, might be back for the opener)
Derron Smith - year 3 - (Who I agree looks good at Safety)
Shawn Williams - year 5 - (Injured)
Brandon Wilson - Rookie (Injured and has to be on the field since being drafted)
Demetrious Cox - Rookie (Listed as DB so perhaps a safety)
Josh Shaw has been playing a lot of slot CB and yes getting some time at safety but is some time at safety enough to be a quality fill in for an injured starter?
Looking at that list, safety is certainly an area of concern. Three healthy safeties is not good.
