One final look at the offensive line rankings before the start of the season. A lot can change in a week or two, and that's been the case with a number of the NFL's lines since our last trip around the league.
Among the noteworthy developments:
The Giants re-signed Will Beatty, which just may be an admission that Ereck Flowers has struggled at left tackle, and the team needs an insurance policy. Beatty could also be an option on the right.
The Texans lost center Nick Martin for the season, and it sounds like left tackle Duane Brown will open the season on the PUP list.
The Patriots have lost Sebastian Vollmer to injury; he's on the PUP list, but is no lock to play this season.
The Vikings released center John Sullivan, replacing him with Joe Berger.
The Bucs won't have injured guard J.R. Sweezy, they'll be making do with Kevin Pamphile.
The current rankings are shown below. For a colorful table showing individual starters and how we rate them, please see our Facebook page.
