Chicago Bears 2019 Position Battles: Will they carry 6 at defensive line again this year?

If a couple youngsters keep on their current development track, the defensive line of the Chicago Bears could be really special in 2019.

A year ago the Bears opened the season with six defensive lineman, but with so much talent at other places, and with the Bears top five looking set, they could opt to carry only five at the position.

I was so impressed by rookie Bilal Nichols a year ago. His technique seemed to improve as the year wore on, which is probably why he ended up starting six games down the stretch.
