LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Braxton Jones will start at left tackle for the Chicago Bears during their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
Jones, Chicago's incumbent left tackle with 40 starts over the last three seasons, was in competition throughout training camp with three other hopefuls: rookie second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo, practice squad member Theo Benedet and former third-round pick Kiran Amegadjie.
Jones won the job upon playing every rep with quarterback Caleb Williams and the offensive starters in preseason games against Buffalo and Kansas City.
