Are the Eagles headed for another mid-season battle at right guard?

Of every wrong turn the Eagles took in Sunday’s season-opening loss to the Washington Football Team, there’s at least one decision that’s left a lot of people still trying to work out whether this road will leave to stability or the total opposite. Many expected Matt Pryor to be the team’s starting right guard in week one in place of the injured Brandon Brooks. Instead, it was Stanford’s Nate Herbig who played in 100% of snaps.

It wasn’t a great day for the offensive line. Battered and bruised, they surrendered 14 QB hits while Wentz was sacked 8 times – the most in his career.
