Kingsley Suamataia, a second-round rookie, initially secured the starting left tackle position after a solid training camp but struggled in his first regular-season game against the Bengals, giving up multiple sacks and penalties. Following this performance, he was benched in favor of Wanya Morris during the second half. Despite the setbacks, offensive line coach Andy Heck expressed confidence in Suamataia's potential for growth, acknowledging that every rookie faces learning curves, especially against elite pass rushers. Reid indicated that both Suamataia and Morris would have opportunities to contribute, suggesting that Suamataia's journey is not over yet.
