VALDOSTA —

The split-squad game is set to begin at 11 a.m., although the chances of the team being completely split for the game isn’t likely because of a lack of depth on the offensive line.
Instead, the team is more likely to run through different scenarios today with fans watching.

Today’s spring game will mark the Blazers’ fifth practice this spring in full pads, and second since Tuesday.
