Eagles Stay or Go 2024: Who will Eagles’ backup tackles be?

Eagles Stay or Go 2024: Who will Eagles’ backup tackles be? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Reuben Frank and Dave Zangaro bring back Stay or Go in 2024, trying to figure out the futures of every Eagles player on the roster.

We already looked at quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end and interior offensive line.

Up today: Offensive tackle

Le’Raven Clark

Roob: A 30-year-old practice squadder? Clark was that last year. The expanded practice squad allows coaches to keep veteran guys around at minimal cost and still get the benefit of their knowledge and leadership and mentorship. Jordan Mailata has said how much Clark has helped him become a better practice player and a better player in general. Clark hasn’t played a snap for the Eagles since 2021, and he won’t play for them in 2024, but don’t be surprised if he’s still here on the practice squad. There can be a lot of value in players who don’t play.

Verdict: Goes

Dave: As long as another team doesn’t sign Clark, he’s still a nice insurance policy on the practice squad. The former third-round pick has played in 64 career games and has made 18 starts. He even played in four games for the Eagles back in 2021. If another team signs Clark, then so be it. The Eagles will wish him luck. But if he’s available you can expect to see him back on the practice squad; just don’t expect to see him on the 53-man roster immediately.

Verdict: Goes

Jack Driscoll

Roob: An interesting one. He’s been up and down as a player, but Nick Sirianni has always liked him because of his guard-tackle versatility and ability to make a spot start with very little notice and hang in there. Driscoll is an unrestricted free agent now, so I think there’s a fair chance he winds up somewhere else. And having Sirianni in your corner might not mean as much as it used to now that Kellen Moore is handling the offense. But Driscoll has some value. He’s played in 54 games, started 17, can play anywhere on the line except…
