Saylors most likely to get increased role as Gibbs' backup with Pacheco out.

With Pacheco sidelined, Jacob Saylors is the most likely player to see increased backfield role and spell Gibbs during games. Jabari Small and Sione Vaki could also contribute, but Saylors emerges as the primary backup option after roster cuts.
