Safety Marcus Maye did not practice again at all this week, so even though he is listed as doubtful, he is almost certainly not going to play, especially with 4 other safeties on the team besides himself. Third year player Doug Middleton will start again in his place. Middleton has been solid yet unspectacular in Maye’s absence. In week one against the Lions, he had 4 solo tackles, 5 total, and 1 pass deflected.
