Bears' Ozzy Trapilo trying to take advantage of 'really great opportunity'

Ozzy Trapilo played right tackle the last two years at Boston College but would stay after practice to work on the left side.

With the Bears, he’s playing on the left side — and has a chance, depending on Braxton Jones’ health and effectiveness, to start there. The second-round rookie rotated at left tackle with Kiran Amegadjie, a third-round pick last year, during the Bears’ offseason practices. Jones, who is recovering from ankle surgery, isn’t expected to be full-go at the start of training camp.

“It’s a really great opportunity,” Trapilo said Tuesday.
