Johnson: Bears' Left Tackle Spot Still Undecided

Published August 26, 2026 · Updated August 26, 2026 · NBC Sports

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has not named a starter at left tackle for Week 1, describing the position as a 'hot spot' following a competitive preseason battle.

Braxton Jones has seen the most first-team reps, while Theo Benedet has filled in during the second preseason game. Ozzy Trapilo is returning from injury on a limited basis, and Jedrick Wills and Kiran Amegadjie have been removed from the competition. Johnson stated he is not '100 percent sold' on the starter yet but emphasized that Thursday's joint practice with the Tennessee Titans and Saturday's game will be crucial for determining the lineup.

He indicated the team will continue to evaluate the situation closely as they approach the regular season opener against the Carolina Panthers. fish-roadgame.online
