SPECIAL TEAMS
1) We need to replace the reps of SCHOOLER and AUSTIN without losing too much.
2) WILLIAMS is our new kick returner, saving an active roster spot.

DEFENSE
1) FARMER should be ready to come back.
2) is TONGA ready or will he get a game off (hopefully no more)
3) WILLIAMS out has meant more work for Durden, Gregory and the elevated PHARMS. IF FARMER is back, perhaps we won't need PHARMS.
4) PONDER seems to be firmly established behind CHAISSON and LANDRY, with MURPHY (2 reps) and SWINSON (0 reps) not a factor on Defense.
5) Presuming WILLIAMS back, we will continue to be a very good Defense for the playoffs.
6) PETTUS is getting reps at safety. I guess PETTUS and WOODS are the first off the bench.

OFFENSE
1) MUNFORD is here as long as he is needed as our backup LT.
2) BROWN can play OK at LG as long as is needed.
3) I don't know about backup OG. Brenden JAMES was elevated the last time that BROWN needed to play OG. WALLACE wasn't even active in that game. And yes, we just added MURRAY to the PS. It really doesn't seem as if WALLACE will be active this year.
 
Munford seems like a guy with elite size, but lacking a guy like Campbells drive and motivation.

I fear that he will be a statue at LT if called upon.
 
Do we have another backup c? Or if bradbury gets hurt will they slide brown over to c and wallace or whoever fills in at lg?

That makes sense: that said the Garrett Bradbury signing was really good.

My choice is to elevate a backup center until Wilson is back. C/G Brenden Jaimes was activated earlier this year. It could be another from the practice Squad.

BOTTOM LINE
MUNFORD replaces CAMPBELL as an active LT indefinitely
A PRACTICE TEAM PLAYER should be elevated for a couple of games until WILSON is back.
BATTLE replaces AUSTIN on ST's and CB #5. AUSTIN didn't get any reps n Defense since Game 4.
WALLACE could be active for the first time, but I don't see why.
