Jones’ Starting Spot in Jeopardy | Chicago Bears News

Chicago Bears’ left tackle Braxton Jones, named starter for Week One against the Panthers, may not be the only option on the field—offensive line coach Dan Roushar hinted at a “real strong possibility” that Theo Benedet could see snaps, raising questions about Jones’ confidence and future with the team.

With the Panthers’ front seven not considered elite, the Bears’ run game hinges on their offensive line’s performance; if Jones struggles to open holes, Benedet’s emergence could be inevitable—and potentially career-defining for Jones.
