PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Shawn Andrews will miss the season opener against the Carolina Panthers because of a sore back.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection had his balky back flare up at practice on Wednesday. He did not practice Thursday or Friday.
Andrews missed the final 14 regular-season games and the entire postseason last year after he suffered a herniated disk in Week 2. He also sat out this year’s entire preseason and did not start practicing until the last week of August.
Winston Justice will start for Andrews. Justice started all four preseason games in place of Andrews.
Andrews is making the transition from guard to tackle this year.
