Offensive Line

One of the key questions all offseason has been who will replace Andrew Norwell at left guard after his decision to leave via free agency. The immediate answer, or at least the individual who was receiving first-team practice repetitions on opening night was a bit surprising.

Amini Silatolu continues to maintain his grasp on the position ahead of Taylor Moton and potentially Tyler Larsen. Others are in the mix as well and many are expected to receive an opportunity but Silatolu remains the answer for the time being.
