Andre Dillard has interesting response when comparing switch from LT to RT

Eagles left tackle Andre Dillard compares switching from left tackle to right tackle to learning how to write with a new hand

Andre Dillard will make the fourth start of his NFL career when he replaces Lane Johnson in the lineup for the Eagles’ game against the Seattle Seahawks. It’ll be the first time Dillard has ever played right tackle.

Dillard was an All-American left tackle at Washington State, but this will be the first time he’s ever played right tackle in a game. Asked for comparison to describe the difference to reporters after practice on Friday, Dillard compared the experience to having to write with a different hand.

Johnson left the Eagles’ loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday with a concussion, and was still in the concussion protocol on Friday and has yet to be cleared to return.

Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson could miss the teams game against the Seahawks with a concussion

Andre Dillard will likely make his first start at right tackle on Sunday, as the Eagles will probably be without Lane Johnson, who is still in the concussion protocol.

According to the NFL’s return-to-participation protocol, Johnson must rest “until his signs and symptoms and neurologic examination, including cognitive and balance tests, return to baseline status.”

If Johnson can’t go, the rookie Dillard will slide over to right tackle.
