Eagles' Andrew Gardner in position to be starting right guard

OFFICIALLY, THE Eagles' right guard competition remains wide open among four contenders.

Unofficially, Andrew Gardner sure looks like the guy to beat.

Gardner practiced with the first team last week and started Sunday's preseason opener against the Colts, which Chip Kelly swore was little more than coincidence, really it could have been anybody, he picked Gardner's name out of thin air, etc.

Gardner was with the first offensive line again in yesterday's practice, though, and Lane Johnson, the right tackle, seems to be under the impression that means something.

"I would say so," Johnson said, when reporters asked if Gardner is separating himself from the other three candidates - Matt Tobin, John Moffitt, and Julian Vandervelde.
