  • The Chicago Bears are planning on moving Kyle Long to left guard and Josh Sitton to right guard, swapping their positions from 2016, according to the Chicago Tribune.
  • Both linemen battled injuries last season, and Long is still recovering from the ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve. He won’t be ready for organized team activities on Monday, according to the report.
  • Sitton actually played two snaps at right guard in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, and he’s no stranger to being moved around the offensive line, starting a game at left tackle in 2015 for the Green Bay Packers and starting the first five seasons of his career at right guard.
