## Resource

The Chicago Bears’ offensive line stability is in jeopardy after left tackle Ozzy Trapilo’s serious knee injury and Drew Dalman’s retirement, forcing a scramble for a replacement. With Trapilo’s return uncertain and his effectiveness post-injury in doubt, the team must prepare for the worst — and fast. The battle for the starting left tackle spot heats up between Jedrick Wills (recovering from major surgery) and Braxton Jones (a former starter sidelined by injury). While Benedet is seen as a backup, Jones’ return to form could secure him the job — or his struggles could open the door for Wills or even Benedet. This critical position could make or break Caleb Williams’ protection and the Bears’ offensive success this season.
