LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The many first-time experiences that Ben Johnson prepared for ahead of his first training camp as an NFL head coach include a position battle classified as an anomaly.
In his time with the Dolphins and Lions, Johnson was accustomed to seeing players battle through long, hot practices in July and August to see who would earn a starter's role. The position battle that Johnson hinted at taking "precedence" over others at the start of Chicago Bears training camp features three players vying for the starting left tackle job: Braxton Jones, Kiran Amegadjie and Ozzy Trapilo.
