The debate in between which veteran would stick and potentially be the 3rd guy in the guard rotation wound up being moot. Patricia cut them both and kept unheralded Matt Nelson instead.
Nelson appears to be the most likely gamer on the present 53-man roster to get bumped by a waiver claim, but for now hes the No. 8 lineman. Thats an upset nobody anticipated.

All offseason it appeared there was a competitors in between experienced linemen Oday Aboushi and Kenny Wiggins for the same one lineup spot. Both have experience and some level of success as the top reserve guard, and both can also play tackle in a pinch.

Could it imply an end to the controversial guard rotation? Its difficult to envision Nelson taking regular-season associates from Joe Dahl or Jonah Jackson, the beginning guards. Rookie Logan Stenberg is the backup center and not likely to play guard as an outcome. This might alter if another veteran is generated, but Wiggins had the trust of the coaching personnel and they still let him enter favor of Nelson.
