Chicago Bears fans finally get the answer they have been waiting for. That question? Who would be the starting left tackle for the team in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings?
"Yeah, I'll go with Braxton."
Bears head coach Ben Johnson confirmed that Braxton Jones will be the starter at left tackle, following a battle with Ozzy Trapilo and Theo Benedet in training camp. It was an expected outcome as Jones has been taking all the first-team reps with the offense over the last week at practice.
A follow-up question was asked as to whether adding Benedet late in the competition was a motivation for Jones to take over the job.
