We already know that Ray won't be playing. One could make a case for him getting a few series to avoid rust, since we have the bye week as well, but after his recent injury I think this was the right call.
But who else should we sit?
Kackert is the easiest decision, I'd say. He has been hurt recently, we have good backups, and we need him for the playoffs.
Ordinarily I would suggest resting Owens too, but he has 979 receiving yards. I'd let him get to 1000 before shutting him down. Ditto for Durie, who is even closer to his first 1000 yard season (986 yards); we've *got* to let him hit that milestone.
On defense, most of the guys probably need to play but I would rest McCune and give Pottinger the start. Gabriel should be our starting safety, but Black probably needs to dress.
Thoughts?
