Geron Christian vs. Ereck Flowers vs. Timon Parris

With Trent Williams not showing up as training camp opened, the battle between Geron Christian, Ereck Flowers, and Timon Parris becomes more than just an important competition for the swing tackle role – at least for now.  Christian likely has the inside track and has added seventeen pounds to his 6-foot-5 frame (he now weighs in at 315).  He needs to show significant improvement in his second season.  Flowers could be looking at his final chance to be a solid offensive linemen in the NFL.  He may see some time at guard as well.  Parris is in his second season after spending a large portion of 2018 on the practice squad.  Could he be in the mix at swing tackle?
