I expect the 4 safeties to make the roster to be Bates, Bell, Hill, and Thomas.
Hill should still get some defensive reps at safety but also could easily get some slot CB reps spelling Hilton.
Let's just hope that Bates plays very focused and well this season, increasing his value for FA.
I am curious if they will keep 5 and consider Hill a "swing" CB until Cam Taylor Britt gets back. With Bates back in the fold it would not shock me if they don't move Hill all over the field and even let him provide some breathers on the outside at times.
