Eagles kept left‑guard replacement plan under wraps; multiple candidates got reps
Eagles appear to have rotated reps and used practice appearance strategies to keep the left-guard replacement unclear; opponents must prepare for multiple possibilities while Eagles finalize a starter.
In this brief: 2 sections 1 min read
Fred Johnson took first‑team LA guards reps during the short open portion of Thursday practice, per reporting.
Drew Kendall — the presumed in-house option — has cross‑trained at left guard and center and remains a logical choice.
Willie Lampkin has also been listed as an interior option; the team appears to be preserving uncertainty.
Tennessee’s interior defensive strength (Jeffery Simmons, John Franklin‑Myers) makes the Eagles’ choice significant.
Hiding the primary left‑guard plan can create a scouting disadvantage for the opponent.
Eagles coaches will announce the official starter in pregame/injury reports or on game day.
