Steen is stepping into a demanding role; his progress and Jeff Stoutland’s coaching will be crucial. If he can grow from mid-pack to solid run-blocking, Philly’s offense could stay humming behind Hurts and Barkley, but the path is not guaranteed.

Steen ascends to starting right guard, centralizing Philadelphia’s three-year OL plan. His rise—from rookie learning behind Jurgens to Week 9 start and a formed fourth stall in the locker—signals a strengthened right side and a pathway to improved run lanes and pass protection for Hurts and Swift.

Steen slots in behind the starters as a versatile blocker; his development contributes to the Eagles’ depth on the line and protection schemes.

Tyler Steen steps into potential right-guard duties as Dickerson navigates injury; with Fred Johnson back, Steen can be eased into interior line work, allowing Philadelphia to preserve its tackles while evaluating Steen’s fit in guard packages.

Steen seized the starting RG spot for Philadelphia, stepping in as a cost-efficient upgrade in the interior. His early performance will shape Hurts’ pocket integrity and the run game. The depth around him (Pryor, Toth) suggests a flexible line if injuries arise, making Steen a key fantasy anchor for Week 1 projections in the interior.
