Middle Linebacker

Michael Wilhoite

Nick Bellore

Fifth-year linebacker Michael Wilhoite played in every defensive snap against the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night while linebackers Gerald Hodges and Ray-Ray Armstrong did not play.

This can only mean one thing, Wilhoite was being showcased for other teams to see because he will be cut.

Sixth-year linebacker Nick Bellore is a talented player with great instinct and a high motor. Bellore will likely be a roster casualty as they have the special teams contributors at other positions.

With Bellore’s special team versatility, look for him to sign on with another team.
