Dennis Allen is making it crystal clear where emerging star's place is in lineup

The Chicago Bears are about to go from having a massive problem in the secondary to the biggest strength on the defense.

This season, the Bears have been without three of their top four cornerbacks in Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, and Terell Smith. The good news is that Johnson and Gordon are aiming to return for the Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday.

That might be trouble for the two replacements at cornerback with the three that have missed time in Tyrique Stevenson and Nahshon Wright. It's been Wright who has caught fire this season as he is tied for the NFL lead in interceptions with five, something Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen understands and will make sure Wright is on the field no matter what.
