Any news on his injury? We need him back quick.
Probably going to be similar to Marqis in that nothing defintive will come until Marrone's press conference tomorrow.
If he does miss any significant time, who would be the new backup LT?
My guess is Wells/Shatley take over at LT. Wells played pretty well when he filled in. Even tackled Van Noy on the INT. Hopefully Campbell is good to go by next week. Tacks beat us up last year.
Damn, hopefully Wells can continue his good play
Olivier Vernon out, Trey Flowers out, Cam Robinson out...hide your wife hide your kids if they have to line up on the left side of the trenches.

Taylor Lewan out
The good news is Wells is an experienced backup. The bad news is he's not very good.
Eagles won the bowl without Jason Peters.
Big loss nevertheless.

True, that's encouraging

Ugh
That's about the worst possible news we could get. LT was our thinnest position before the injury. Wells now becomes the new starter, but we have absolutely no depth behind him. I don't know if we even have anyone who can play LT other than Wells. I was just looking at the list of OT's that are still available. It's bleak, but if I had to grab one for depth, I'd bring in William Beatty. He is an experienced LT and although he is far from great, he would be a serviceable backup.
Roberson out for the season
I would start getting Richardson cross training with plenty of LT reps too.
Wells has enough experience. In fact, I’d venture to say he may be a little more savvy than Robinson is at this point in his career.
Offensive side of the ball taking some big hits.
That's a bummer after a great win, but the team will find a way to fill that role and move on.
Man that really sucks. Anyone out there on the street that we can sign for a backup?
