Ty Sambrailo injured, Matt Gono may start at RT Thursday night

Ty Sambrailo had a difficult effort against the Jets on Thursday night. You can argue that he mostly played fine and only had a handful of difficult plays, which would be fairly accurate, but on his worst plays he looked completely and totally overmatched.

I’m not saying it was definitely caused by the shoulder ailment he’s currently nursing, but that certainly could have been a factor. Regardless, Matt Gono looks like he may get an opportunity to push for a roster spot or more consideration for the right tackle job early in the year, should Sambrailo falter before Kaleb McGary gets back.
