Jack Driscoll Becoming Eagles' Latest Swiss Amy Knife

Can Jordan Mailata take the next step on a gimpy knee and go from a limited practice player on Wednesday to the starting lineup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday?

Will Lane Johnson return to practice from the personal matter that sidelined him last week against the Chiefs in time to play against the league’s third-ranked defense this weekend?

What about Jack Driscoll, the swiss army knife who lined put at right guard last week after not taking a snap there in the days leading up to the game?

Will the Eagles be forced to use their third different starting lineup in just the fifth game of the season?

There are all offensive line questions, obviously.

Similar ones were asked last year when the Eagles used 14 different starting lineups in 16 games due to one injury after another.

Head coach Nick Sirianni doesn’t want to give away too much for competitive advantage purposes for Sunday’s game in Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers.

Whatever shape the line takes, it’s helpful to have someone like Driscoll who can be thrown in at the last minute and play whatever position is needed and play it well.

And it was definitely last minute when OL coach Jeff Stoutland tapped him on the shoulder just two hours before kickoff last week when it was learned Johnson wasn’t playing and told him what was up.

"There’s not much fluff with Stout,” said Driscoll on Wednesday. “It’s really, ‘You’re starting at right tackle. Go out there and play well,’ and I’m like, ‘Alright.’

“It’s part of my job to be able to play wherever they tell me, whether it’s on short notice, or it’s all week that I’m repping at right tackle, or two hours before the game. He kind of said, ‘It’s a tough situation. I understand it’s difficult, but we need you to play right tackle.’”

Right tackle was where Driscoll made four starts as a rookie last year after being drafted in the fourth round out of Auburn, but training camp this past summer was filled with guard reps.

“I feel comfortable at guard because up until two hours before the game, I thought I was starting at guard,” he said. “It’s like I got all my reps at practice next to Kelce at guard. At guard, things just happen quicker. It’s right there. It’s on you right away, but I always think I can take some things from tackle to guard to help me, and vice versa when I go to tackle.

“I always feel that being able to play both kind of gives you a better understanding of the whole O-line, the blocking schemes. It helps you hone in on your technique to be able to play anywhere.”
