Key offseason moves

  • Selected Steve Avila in the second round of this year's draft. With a background in playing center and both guard spots, Avila brings valuable position flexibility to the offensive line.
  • Re-signed Coleman Shelton to a two-year contract. Shelton's versatility being able to play guard or center has made him a critical piece to Los Angeles' offensive line rotation over the last two seasons.

Who's under contract

2022 stats: Started first six games of the season before sustaining season-ending Achilles injury in Week 6 against the Panthers.

What's next

Figuring out the rest of the starting five. Besides veteran Rob Havenstein at right tackle, every position along the offensive line is up for grabs based on the combinations experimented with this spring. Quarterback Matthew Stafford already acknowledged the position battle at center with Shelton and Allen both rotating there throughout OTAs. Another factor in that is also players who are getting healthy after season-ending injuries in 2022 like Tremayne Anchrum Jr. and Logan Bruss.
