Cole Van Lanen - Preseason has played 167 snaps and all at RT.
Lucky Fortner - Preseason has played 105 snaps all at C.
Cooper Hodges - Preseason played 152 snaps all at RG.
Javon Foster - Preseason played 117 snaps all at LT.
Walker Little - Preseason played 72 snaps all at LT.

So appears Van Lanen first in for Harrison, Little for Cam, Hodges for Scherff.  That leave LG. During the preseason Hance and Shatley got most of the snaps. Last year during preseason Little got reps at LG, but that was a year ago. Anyway will be interesting to find out how they play this.

You just proved my point that you so adamantly rejected earlier. See bolded text. 

But if you are correct that the braintrust now views Foster as a guard based on a depth chart, then I will be happy to be wrong. I’ve been a fan since the team’s inception and have observed several players put in positions that didn’t fit them.

FWIW - Foster's college coach swears he can play inside and our staff reportedly gave him some snaps there prior to preseason 
(a local beat writer tweeted about him lined up at guard during mini-camp)
They must not have liked what they saw based on his preseason snaps all at tackle - and it is very common these days for college trench players to take some time to develop to NFL standards, so I wouldn't rush to write the book on the kid's positional limitations just yet (not that you were doing so)

TL;DR
I think he may still hold some potential to be a guard, but I doubt we see him worked there this season
