    Even with King Dunlap healthy, Demetress Bell appears to have overtaken him for the starting left tackle spot.

    Bell said after Wednesday's practice that he took the first team repetitions at left tackle.

    Asked earlier if Dunlap had retained his spot now that he's returned to practice, Andy Reid was evasive when in recent weeks he had said the job remained Dunlap's.

    "I'll cross that bridge when we get there," Reid said before practice. "But I'm glad to have King back. I just want to see how he's doing."

    Dunlap took some reps at right guard, according to Bell, with Danny Watkins out with a chest injury. Watkins was suited up at the start of practice, but was held out.
