Ben Johnson confirms the news Bears fans have been screaming for since Week 1

It's finally happening. After months of calling for a change to be made, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson did it.

Marquee Sports Network's Scott Bair reported that Johnson confirmed that there will be a change made to the offensive line. Theo Benedet has been named as the starter at left tackle for their Week 6 showdown against the Washington Commanders. Braxton Jones had started the first four games, but it had been rumored for over a week that he would be benched.

Jones struggled in the Bears-Las Vegas Raiders game at left tackle, resulting in the Bears moving Benedet from right tackle to left tackle.
