    Reed Doughty returned to the practice fields in early May for the first time since his 2008 season ended last October due to a back injury and is now a full-go for mini-camp and OTA practices this offseason, which means that he is back in the mix for a starting job at strong safety. Doughty enters his fourth NFL season upbeat about the competition for playing time with Chris Horton and Kareem Moore, both second-year safeties. Horton started 10 games in place of Doughty last year and was working with the starting group during mini-camp and OTAs but that hasnt deterred Doughty. I feel good about our group, Doughty said. We all get along really well, and thats fun. Chris and I know were competing, Kareem knows hes competing, and whoever plays the best is going to be on the field on Sundays. Thats fun when theres no animosity. We all have a lot of upside, so were only going to get better as a group.
