PHILADELPHIA -- Former starting right tackle Jon Runyan worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.
Runyan never missed a game in nine years with the Eagles, starting 192 consecutive regular-season contests. He wasn't re-signed after having microfracture surgery on his right knee.
Philadelphia revamped its offensive line during the offseason, acquiring two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters from the Buffalo Bills to replace longtime starter Tra Thomas. Shawn Andrews, a two-time Pro Bowl pick at right guard, was moved to Runyan's spot. Shawn's brother, Stacy, was signed to play right guard.
Shawn Andrews missed the preseason with a back injury but expects to play in Sunday's season opener against the Carolina Panthers.
