The Bears were returning their entire starting offensive line from the 2018 season, which you figured would make for continued success. Instead, the unit underperformed on an offense that had multiple weaknesses.

Heading into 2020, the Bears starting offensive line remains mostly intact with left tackle Charles Leno Jr., left guard James Daniels, center Cody Whitehair and right tackle Bobby Massie. Obviously, Chicago faces a tall order of replacing right guard Kyle Long, was retirement earlier this offseason. They’ve brought in Germain Ifedi and Jason Spriggs to battle with Rashaad Coward and Alex Bars for that starting spot. The Bears also added a pair of developmental offensive linemen in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
