Bears’ Left Tackle and DE Battles Heating Up | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears’ training camp is heating up with two major position battles: left tackle and defensive end. With starter Ozzy Palillo sidelined, rookie Kiran Amegadjie is dominating first-team reps and making a strong case to start over Braxton Jones and Jedrick Wills Jr. On defense, veteran Dayo Odeyingbo faces stiff competition from fifth-round rookie Austin Booker, who’s already delivering standout performances—including sacks alongside Montez Sweat. Despite Odeyingbo’s $48M contract, Booker’s on-field impact could earn him the starting spot. The race is tight, but early signs point to Amegadjie at left tackle and Booker opposite Sweat—watch this space as camp unfolds.
