The O-line shuffling has been incomprehensible this year.

Sherman yanked Whitticker during Thursday’s practice after the rookie appeared to make a mistake during a 9-on-7 drill.
If Sherman decides to bench Whitticker, who has started all 10 games at right guard, he likely will go with Grey Ruegamer, who got the bulk of the reps during the remainder of practice. Ruegamer is the primary backup at center and right guard.
