The Chicago Bears have kicked off training camp, and there are plenty of storylines we’re monitoring this summer.
One of the biggest is the offensive line — specifically, what will the starting combination look like? And how quickly are they going to figure that out?
Head coach Matt Eberflus reiterated that all starting combinations are open heading into training camp. Although it certainly appears that things are becoming clearer following the additions of veterans Riley Reiff and Michael Schofield earlier this week.
“We have to keep an open mind into the best combination, the best five, and the best three guys after that,” Eberflus said. “So it’s important that we keep an open mind.”
Things should start to become clearer when the pads come on for the first time during next Monday’s practice.
Here’s a look at how the offensive line shook out during the first practice of training camp on Wednesday, focusing on the battles at the tackle and right guard positions.
