Let's stop the rumors : MM: Clifton was continuing to have issues with his knee after missing some practice this week, and went with Bulaga from late 2nd qtr on.
Clifton was on the injury report the last two weeks...Bulaga was solid but also per MM he was backing up RT and LG as well to free up roster spots.
He is the future no doubt . Better question TJ Lang has been inactive two weeks in a row ? Why ?
