What happened: Brian Schottenheimer prefers to keep Caleb Downs in his slot role on passing downs, per Todd Archer. PJ Locke takes the snaps Malik Hooker handled before getting hurt.

Why it matters: Keeping Downs in the slot preserves the passing-down plan instead of moving two spots to The stopgap gives Locke starter snaps while the base secondary stays intact.

What to watch: Watch Locke's snap share in the next game and whether Downs stays inside on third downs.
