Two summers ago, Allen Barbre spent the entire training camp playing right tackle on the Eagles' first-team offensive line. Lane Johnson was scheduled to miss the first four games because of a suspension, and the coaching staff prepared Barbre to replace him.
Two summers later, Barbre had been trying to keep his starting left guard spot for the second straight season. But after the news broke about Johnson's looming 10-game suspension, Barbre is back at right tackle as Johnson's replacement like he was in 2014.
Even though Barbre is more comfortable at left guard, coach Doug Pederson's plan to overcome Johnson's loss included moving Barbre to Johnson's spot and inserting third-round pick Isaac Seumalo at left guard.
