Bryant McKinnie, the seventh overall pick in the draft, was 
slated to be an immediate starter at left tackle.  But he 
remains unsigned and coach Mike Tice has changed his plans.
"Obviously, the anointing of him (McKinnie) as a starter is
over," Tice said.  "Right now, Everett Lindsay is our starting
left tackle, and so we just have to go with the guy we 
have." ... Lewis Kelly, who is expected to start at right 
tackle, has been hampered by a strained quadricep.
