The Bears’ Left Tackle Spot Has Three Names and Nobody Is Ready For It

The Chicago Bears just dropped their first depth chart of the year, and if you’re looking at their left tackle position, you might need a double-take. They’ve officially listed three different dudes at first-team left tackle: Braxton Jones, Kiran Amegadjie, and Jedrick Wills. That’s a lot of cooks in one kitchen, and it’s a situation that screams early season uncertainty.

Three’s a Crowd at LT

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said way back in March that they were gonna consider every single option for left tackle in 2026. Well, it’s August now, and it looks like they’re still deep in evaluation mode, with their first preseason game looming. These three guys are all fighting to step into the role left vacant by Ozzy Trapilo, who’s currently out recovering from a torn patellar tendon. Obviously, all three won’t be on the field at the same time, so the upcoming preseason games are going to be absolutely vital to see who actually rises to the occasion. Who’s gonna protect the blind side? That’s the biggest question facing the O-line right now.

More Questions in the Secondary

It’s interesting that the left tackle spot is the *only* starting position with multiple players vying for that first-team designation. But don’t go thinking everything else is locked down for the Bears. There’s still a ton to sort out in their secondary, too. They’re still waiting to find out when Coby Bryant and Kyler Gordon might be able to get back into action. It’s a crucial early season period, and missing key pieces or having an unsettled offensive line is never ideal.

What’s Next for the Bears?

With their first preseason game right around the corner, all eyes are going to be glued to that left tackle battle. Will one of these guys step up and dominate, or will this question mark continue to hang over the team? It’s a huge, high-stakes situation that could define their offensive performance early on.
