Right guard Billy Turner could move to tackle and have Lucas Patrick start at right guard, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports as the most likely scenario.

Obviously, Dave’s one of the best tackles in the game, so obviously whenever you remove a really good player, you’re not putting in a better player than that really good player. So it obviously hurts the front, but guys have to step up. Just like if someone gets nicked up in a game, someone’s got to go in and play. They’re expected to win and play at a high level.
