The chances that Saffold and Bates both make it through a long season without injury are iffy.
Right now, it looks to be quite a challenge to just get a practice out of either of them.
I would not be at all surprised to see Ford make the team & end up starting 4 or 5 games.
He had 7 starts last year with a couple of bad ones and a few that were unawful.
He’s not a quality starter but he is depth that so far, has managed to stay healthy.
