Kendall Sheffield turned in a pretty solid effort in his first NFL start, looking competent on a day when much of the defense was once again in disarray. For that effort, it looks like he’s going to get more chances to start in the very near future.
If Desmond Trufant is out this week, Sheffield figures to line up opposite Isaiah Oliver and get another start, this time facing a potent group of Rams receivers. If Trufant is back, though, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s out of the starting lineup.
