Lions' Joe Dahl expected to push for starting job at left guard

ALLEN PARK -- Graham Glasgow will be the leader at left guard job when the Detroit Lions begin their offseason program next week. He started 11 games as a rookie, after all, and played well, all things considered.

But he'll face some competition from Laken Tomlinson, a former first-round pick with 24 career starts.

And then there's Joe Dahl.

He's never started a pro game. Heck, he's played only 20 offensive snaps. But those who have seen him on the field believe it's only a matter of time before he's pushing for the starting gig.

"He's going to play for somebody eventually -- it's just a matter of how long it takes," Washington State receiver Gabe Marks said at the combine.
