Stefen Wisniewski has started in every NFL game of his career, so the opportunity to work alongside the Eagles' first team offensive line this past week hasn't been unfamiliar.
But with starting right guard Brandon Brooks expected to return to the lineup later this week, Wisniewski's midnight hour is fast approaching. Soon he won't be tandem blocking with center Jason Kelce and right tackle Lane Johnson, nor will he be facing defensive tackles as talented as Fletcher Cox and Bennie Logan.
He has seemingly done everything possible to keep a starting spot, but the Eagles didn't hand over $17 million guaranteed for Brooks not to play right guard, and, for some reason, coach Doug Pederson has virtually locked Allen Barbre into left guard.
