You could take Scott Shafer's announcement that Austin Wilson and Eric Dungey are the two guys battling for the backup quarterback spot one of two ways. First, you could take it as common sense, since AJ Long is still recovering from a hand injury and Kentarius Womack is splitting time with wide receivers. Or, you could take it as a sign that Dungey is making serious strides and could end up leap-frogging the guys ahead of him on the depth chart much quicker than anticipated.
