It was just the second healthy scratch of the season for Gaither.
Also scratched were cornerback Brandon Hughes, defensive lineman Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, offensive lineman Austin Howard and tight end Garrett Mills. Te'o-Nesheim had been active the past two games.
Mike Kafka was designated the third quarterback.
