    Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart

    Rudolph seems to be viewed as the safer bet over Howard by the organization, and while the latter undoubtedly has more upside, the former really doesn't need to prove a whole ton over the next few weeks.

    Garrett Bradbury to be 1st on the depth chart

    That training camp battle never materialized, however, as Bradbury has taken all of the reps with the starting offense so far. It seems that the coaching staff prefers to start the year off with an experienced player snapping Caleb Williams the ball.
