Head coach Jay Gruden believes Spencer Long has the edge to start at left guard in place of the injured Shawn Lauvao this week against the Eagles.
With the news on Tuesday that veteran left guard Shawn Lauvao was heading to IR with a lateral sprain to his left ankle, head coach Jay Gruden told the media Wednesday that Spencer Long has a slight edge over Arie Kouandjio to start in Lauvao’s place.
Gruden said he’s going to continue to let them compete and get both of them more reps at the position Thursday and Friday before making a final determination on Saturday or Sunday before their matchup with the Eagles.
