Notre Dame's Quenton Nelson a plug-and-play option for Bears at No. 8 overall

The Chicago Bears signed multiple front-line players in free agency, but offensive line remains an area of need, particularly at left guard, where a hole was created when they declined the team option on veteran Josh Sitton, who has since moved on to the Miami Dolphins.

Although left guard appears to be the Bears’ most immediate need, there are other issues percolating up front.

Three-time Pro Bowl selection Kyle Long is recovering from multiple surgical procedures, and while general manager Ryan Pace said recently that he’s pleased with Long’s progress, Chicago has yet to announce any sort of official timetable for Long’s return.
