Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson is racing to settle the starting left tackle spot—possibly by midweek—after last year’s starter Ozzy Trapilo tore his patellar tendon and will miss most of the season. The team brought in Braxton Jones (re-signed) and former first-round pick Jedrick Wills to compete with returning tackles Theo Benedet and underperforming rookie Kiran Amegadjie. Jones has dominated first-team reps in camp, signaling he’s the frontrunner—but he left practice early Thursday with an injury, raising concerns. If healthy, Jones should earn the start, offering reliable play until Trapilo returns and stabilizing a position that struggled badly last year.
