INDIANAPOLIS — The Bears did expect to be addressing left tackle anytime soon after drafting Ozzy Trapilo in the second round last year, but his knee injury in the playoffs changed that drastically.
General manager Ryan Poles has said Trapilo will miss at least most of the upcoming season, which puts the position high on their list of priorities this offseason. The Bears certainly don’t want a repeat of last season, when they started with Braxton Jones, benched him for Theo Benedet, then benched Benedet for Trapilo.
Offensive line coach Dan Roushar said on an episode of five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead’s podcast, The Set, that it’s “to be determined” whether the team has an in-house solution.
