Safeties
- Eric Reid
- Antoine Bethea
Safety Eric Reid sat out of Sunday’s game against the Texans to witness the birth of his second daughter.
A pretty good reason to sit out, if you ask me. Reid will return to his starting role in Week 2.
God is so good! This little girl stole my heart the second I saw her. And my wife did an amazing job delivering her! pic.twitter.com/pJw9AJrUYc

Bethea has shown enough to earn a starting role in Week 2, but second-year safety Jaquiski Tartt is hot on his heels and, if he remains consistent in camp, will likely take over the starting spot from Bethea.
