There’s a lot of competition at several positions on the Bears’ roster. Let’s take a look at those battles happening in training camp.

The other starting job in the secondary up for grabs is at safety. Following Ha Ha Clinton-Dix’s free-agent departure, the Bears are looking for his replacement opposite two-time Pro Bowler Eddie Jackson. Jackson, who spent last season at strong safety, is moving back to his natural free safety position this year. Now, the Bears are looking for a starting strong safety to pair with one of the NFL’s best free safeties.

Ultimately, it’s Tashaun Gipson, who Chicago signed to a one-year deal in free agency, that figures to be the favorite to win the job. But before Gipson was brought to Chicago, it was Deon Bush, who signed a one-year extension, that was the presumptive starter.
