6. OL Rashaad Coward
When right guard Kyle Long was placed on injured reserve early last season, it was offensive tackle Rashaad Coward that stepped into his role. Coward converted to offensive tackle in 2018, but he saw time at guard, where he started 10 games for the Bears at right guard in 2019. The Bears re-signed Coward to a one-year deal this offseason, where he’ll battle a proven veteran for the starting right guard job.
Chicago signed four-year starter Germain Ifedi to a one-year prove-it deal in free agency, where he’s the favorite to win the starting right guard job. While Ifedi played most of his career at offensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks, Ifedi did start his career at guard, which means Coward needs an impressive camp to pull away with the starting job.
