Could Chris Chester start at center if Joe Hawley isn't ready?

Atlanta's new interior lineman signed with the Falcons thanks to an easy path to start at left guard... or even center.

Falcons center Joe Hawley tore his ACL in week 4, but has been expected to be ready for week 1. That assumption may be wrong, per ESPN's Adam Caplan, who has been on top of the Chris Chester news this offseason.

On Chris Chester, Eagles offered a 2-year deal, but he has a better chance of starting with #Falcons (LG or even C if Hawley isn't ready).
