When Andre Dillard was lost for the season with a torn biceps muscle, it was assumed that the Eagles future Hall of Famer, Jason Peters, would move back to left tackle.
That has not been the case over the past few days of practice and as the Eagles sit two weeks out from a matchup with the Washington Football Team, Matt Pryor is getting the first-team reps at left tackle and not Jason Peters.
From the #Eagles' live feed of practice (unlike many teams, they allow for the reporting of personnel deployment during camp, which is appreciated): Matt Pryor at left tackle for the injured Andre Dillard while Jason Peters is still at right guard. We'll see how it develops.

Peters has remained at the right guard and the move to replace Brandon Brooks will be permanent unless some drastic takes place.
Lane’s injury is lower body. My bad. https://t.co/2LtAc8GlDB

Originally selected by the Eagles in the 6th round (206th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, Pryor actually made his first career NFL start in place of an injured Brooks in that Wild Card game vs. Seattle.
Pryor played collegiately at TCU, where he started in 31 games (23 at guard) and earned All-Big 12 honors following his senior season in 2017.
