But the lack of depth behind the starters was exposed when Bigby missed 3 games. Coming into the season, it looked like free agent S Anthony Smith would be the top backup, but he was surprisingly cut after the final preseason game. The backup job i...

Even if Bigby isn't spectacular in his return -- and he wasn't in the preseason -- he at least can ease the cornerbacks' minds that he'll play his assignments, something with which replacements Aaron Rouse and Derrick Martin struggled.* Injuries to CB Will Blackmon (ACL, place...
