Who Should I Start? Charles Cross or Justin Shaffer

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross (toe) got in another full practice on Friday and will play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The second-year tackle sprained his toe in Week 1 and missed the next three games as a result. Seattle had a bye in Week 5 and the extra time off proved to be enough for Cross to get back on the field for Week 6. Cross will be tasked with protecting quarterback Geno Smith against a pesky Bengals defense on Sunday. His return should give all relevant Seattle skill players a boost.

The Atlanta Falcons have released offensive lineman Justin Shaffer, according to Michael Rothstein of ESPN. Shaffer was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Falcons out of the University of Georgia, and his stint with the team is set to end after just two seasons. The 25-year-old has been on and off Atlanta's practice squad during his career, and he has not appeared in a regular season game. He'll likely get a chance with another franchise, but it'll likely be on a cheap, one-year deal with the possibility of him being released before the 2024 campaign begins.
