"That's easy," Campbell said on Sewell. "I've talked to him. We're ready to do that, if need be. I don't want to say that right now I'm going to commit to that, but that's, I mean, we're ready to do that," Campbell said at the NFL annual league meeting. "And all he wants is a couple of days is to work his left hand in the stance a little bit." Per NFL's Next Gen Stats, Sewell has played 4,619 snaps at right tackle and just 647 regular season snaps at left tackle in his NFL career.
