With left tackle being a massive uncertainty for the Cleveland Browns in the first week of training camp, the team decided that moving Joel Bitonio from guard to tackle was the team’s best option.
By moving Bitonio to tackle, it allowed the Browns to push rookie Austin Corbett into the starting lineup at left guard.
Browns head coach said by putting Bitonio at tackle and Corbett at guard, it allows the team to put “the best five players out there.” The decision to put Corbett into the starting lineup says a lot about how the team feels about the rookie lineman.
