Offensive Line (9): Donald Penn, Kolton Miller, Gabe Jackson, Rodney Hudson, Kelechi Osemele, Brandon Parker, Jon Feliciano, David Sharpe, Ian Silberman

Donald Penn returned to practice prior to the Rams game, but like the rest of the starters on offense, he did not see the field. The starting left tackle last season, it appears Penn is going to make the move to the right side of the line, clearing the way for rookie Kolton Miller to start at left tackle in year one.

Gabe Jackson, Kelechi Osemele, and Rodney Hudson will man the interior of the offensive line, and all three could be Pro Bowlers in 2018. On Saturday, rookie Brandon Parker struggled against the Rams pass rush allowing four pressures, but he was coming off an injury, and will be fine as we continue along this summer.

Rounding out the offensive line this season should be Jon Feliciano, David Sharpe, and Ian Silberman, all guys who give the team nice depth. Breno Giacomini was brought in to be a starter this offseason, but he has been injured for quite some time now, and will have to work hard to earn his spot on the 53 once he returns.
