The Bears plan to keep Darnell Wright at right tackle — at least for now.

Wright has remained on the right side this offseason even with starting left tackle Braxton Jones recovering from ankle surgery. Kiran Amegadjie, a third-round pick in 2024, and Ozzy Trapilo, a second-round pick last month, have been playing left tackle during OTAs, with the rookie being featured prominently Wednesday.

“We feel pretty comfortable keeping [Wright] at the right side right now,” coach Ben Johnson said after Wednesday’s OTA practice.
