Guarded optimism: Eagles always saw Seumalo as starter, but can't be sure he's ready

All spring, the implication was that Isaac Seumalo would emerge from training camp as the Eagles’ starting left guard, but it was still a bit of a surprise when the coaching staff made that decision as camp was starting.

Thursday, the Eagles assembled for their first full-squad practice, with Seumalo working between left tackle Jason Peters and center Jason Kelce, and 2016 starting left guard Allen Barbre introducing himself to the Denver Broncos after being traded for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2019.

Something like this has been coming since the Eagles made Seumalo the first player they drafted (albeit in the third round) after they traded up to take Carson Wentz second overall in 2016.
