PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles' left tackle riddle was solved six days before the regular season opener, as Jason Peters has agreed to move back to Carson Wentz's blindside.
"Jason Peters came into my office this morning and he has decided to slide over to left tackle," coach Doug Pederson said. "This is the unselfishness [of Peters]. This is who he is. He sacrifices not only his body but for the football team. ...I'm thrilled to death."
The natural expectation was that Peters, who has built a Hall of Fame worthy resume playing left tackle over 16 seasons with the Eagles and Buffalo Bills, would take over his old position immediately after 2019 first-round pick Andre Dillard was lost for the season with a torn biceps in late August.
