Sam Shields locked in as top nickel back

Rookie free agent Sam Shields took every snap as the No. 1 nickel back during three days of practice this week. If he performs well Thursday night against the Chiefs, he figures to be there Sept. 12 against the Eagles.

"One day he's going to be a very, very good player," cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said. "He's not there yet. He needs to be a good player come the Philly game. He is a great kid."
