It depends on how many DBs Gibbs will allow on the game-day active 45 man roster. It's up to him -- and generally, it'll be a toss-up between the defensive backs and H-backs and TEs as to how many of each will see action on game day.

Starting corners are obviously Smoot and Springs. The first nickel back will either be Ade Jimoh, Walt Harris or Rashad Bauman. Rufus Brown, Ryan Clark and Garnell Wilds are all bringing up the rear on the depth chart and all but perhaps one of them will make it past the final roster cuts.

Taylor, Bowen, Lott and Franz make up the safties.

We'll know a lot more by tomorrow afternoon.
