Bears Leave Left Tackle Battle Unsettled After 34-10 Win Over Browns

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Aug 16

Summary

  • Ben Johnson said Chicago still cannot assess its starting left tackle after Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills Jr. split reps in the preseason opener.
  • Braxton Jones' knee injury kept the competition open, and Johnson said film review is needed after the offensive line allowed too many hits and pressures on Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum and Miller Moss.
  • Amegadjie started and played into the fourth quarter, while Wills struggled in his stint and gave up a sack to Julian Okwara on what was arguably the line's worst snap.
  • Next Saturday's preseason game against Cincinnati could clarify the race, especially if Jones returns and Chicago gives more starters extended work.
