Markel Bell Settles In as Eagles' Starting Right Tackle Following Debut

Rookie right tackle Markel Bell prepares for his fifth career start when the Eagles face Washington on Sunday night. Standing at 6-foot-9 and 345 pounds, the third-round draft pick out of Miami stepped into the starting lineup after Lane Johnson's sudden retirement. After allowing three sacks and four hurries in a challenging NFL debut against the Rams, Bell has surrendered zero sacks and just five hurries over his last three games. Teammate Jordan Mailata noted Bell's rapidly growing confidence and technique.
