More: background

A cornerback lines up opposite the opposing team's receivers and is key to defending passes. Watson’s shoulder surgery ends his participation for the current campaign. Garrett, a defensive end, pressures the quarterback, while Ferguson, a tight end, contributes as a receiver and blocker; both had been sidelined by injuries (knee for Garrett, ankle for Ferguson).
