FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons will be searching for the final piece of the offensive line charged with protecting Matt Ryan when they open their preseason schedule at the New York Jets.

Right guard is the only position on the line without a set starter, and that will be a key competition coach Dan Quinn will be watching closely in Friday night's game.

Decisions also have to be made at fullback and defensive end.

Protecting Ryan, the 2016 NFL MVP with a new five-year contract extension that could be worth as much as $150 million, makes finding the best starting right guard a priority.

Wes Schweitzer was listed ahead of Seneca Valley High School and Slippery Rock Universuity graduate Brandon Fusco, perhaps Atlanta's top free-agent acquisition this offseason, at right guard on the team's first depth chart released this week. The two have rotated with the first-team offense during training camp.

Schweitzer's expected start against the Jets may be based on his 16 starts with Atlanta last season.

Fusco started all 16 games for San Francisco last season.

“I just want to build continuity with everyone, get comfortable with everyone and with this offense,” Fusco said following Wednesday's practice.

“I miss the game-day feeling and will be excited when I'm out there. Hopefully it's enough to prove to them I can be the starter of this team at right guard and help this team win.”

Schweitzer said this has been “the best camp I've ever had, definitely the best offensive camp I've ever been a part of.”
