Last week in this space we told you about the possibility of rookie CB Corey Webster, once he gets over a strained quad muscle, replacing Will Allen, but more defensive changes could be in store. First, the benching of Allen might be on hold seeing as how fellow starter William Peterson appears to be badly hurt. A source close to Peterson told PFW that the cornerback’s back is “pretty screwed up” but that he would get a second opinion before deciding whether to shut it down for the season or try to return. In the loss to the Chargers, a game in which they allowed 485 yards of offense, the team benched SLB Reggie Torbor, inserting former starter Nick Greisen on the weak side and moving Carlos Emmons back to his old SLB position. In addition, SS Gibril Wilson, who also was benched for a spell vs. San Diego, has been a disappointment thus far and could be replaced by longtime starter Shaun Williams, who has done a nice job in reserve and on special teams.
