RENTON — The Seahawks will start Bradley Sowell at right tackle in place of Garry Gilliam while sticking with rookie George Fant at left tackle, coach Pete Carroll said.
The shake up comes after the offensive line struggled against the Bucs last week across the board. Sowell replaced Gilliam after the first drive of that game, and Carroll said on Wednesday that Sowell won the job over Gilliam.
Gilliam was slotted to be the Seahawks’ starting left tackle heading into the offseason, but he battled through injuries and eventually took over the starting spot at right tackle, which he held until Sowell replaced him.
