Who is winning the Bears starting left tackle competition?
Four players are battling for the job — Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills, Kiran Amegadjie, and Theo Benedet. Braxton Jones is considered the incumbent favorite, but Wills has had a strong start to camp and is firmly in the mix according to head coach Ben Johnson.
What has Ben Johnson said about Jedrick Wills at Bears training camp?
Johnson said that over the first four days of camp, Wills' confidence level has been pretty good and called it a good start. He noted that before Wills got hurt in Cleveland, he was a very powerful player and the Bears are hoping to see that continue over the next few weeks.
When is the Bears' first preseason game in 2025?
The Bears' first preseason game is scheduled for August 15th. Whoever starts that game at left tackle can safely be considered the leader for the starting job.
Who is the favorite to start at center for the Chicago Bears?
Garrett Bradbury is currently the favorite for the starting center job. Head coach Ben Johnson has praised Bradbury's communication skills and overall consistency, while rookie Logan Jones still has work to do to challenge him for the spot.
