It could come to this. Two Aaron’s with practically the same last name, amid a field of Johnson’s no less… could be fighting for a starting safety spot that has been arguably vacant since Kenny Phillips was placed on injured reserve in week 3. According to The Blue Screen, Ross has been working out with the team and looking fresh but instead of simply lining up at cornerback he’s been moved over to a safety-like position – perhaps due to the shortage of playmake...
