It’s a little late in preseason to be messing around with the starting left tackle job, so it’s highly unlikely Bears coach Ben Johnson is giving longshot Theo Benedet an extended run with the first team.
Johnson has been displeased with incumbent starter Braxton Jones, second-round pick Ozzy Trapilo and second-year player Kiran Amegadjie, and Benedet took most of the first-string snaps Friday in a joint practice with the Bills. Jones got some as well, but primarily worked on the second unit with Trapilo at right tackle in that group.
Johnson seemed annoyed by the uncertainty after the Bears went into training camp hoping to settle on a starting five and establish continuity going into the season.
