Bears coach Ben Johnson barely noticed new left tackle Theo Benedet during the win over the Commanders on Monday, and that’s an upgrade given how much scheming he had to do to work around Braxton Jones’ struggles.
Benedet was solid in his first start at left tackle and will stay there Sunday against the Saints and for as long as he’s part of the solution to the Bears’ issues in pass protection and rushing attack like he was against the Commanders.
“The biggest compliment I could probably give him is I didn’t feel him out there,” Johnson said Wednesday.
