He was in and out of the lineup for the remainder of the year, with multiple games inactive. Mike Caliendo took over as left guard after Joe Thuney was moved to left tackle, creating a position battle between him and Suamataia before the start of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Kingsley Suamataia) and (Mike) Caliendo are working there and doing that,\u201d said Reid.
