Q: Since Troy Polamalu is out any chance we see Deshea Townsend or Keiwan Ratliff playing strong safety?

Justin Zimmerman, Kempton, PA

BOUCHETTE: Yes, there is a chance. Ryan Mundy is the top backup at both safeties and the only other safety listed on the roster after Polamalu, Tyrone Carter and Ryan Clark. But both Townsend and Ratliff have practiced there and could fill in if needed.
