SS Abdullah, CB Allen start Thursday

As expected, Husain Abdullah is named the starter at strong safety for Thursday night.

Surprisingly cornerback Asher Allen got the nod to start next to Antoine Winfield. Cornerback Lito Sheppard was expected to start, but will get plenty of playing time as the third and only extra cornerback behind the starters.

Cornerbacks Chris Cook and Cedric Griffin are inactive.
