The Chicago Bears had four players start at left tackle throughout the 2025 NFL season.
Braxton Jones, Theo Benedet, Ozzy Trapilo, and Joe Thuney all lined up as the primary protectors for Caleb Williams’ blindside. It was the one position on the offensive line last season that experienced inconsistency, and that fluctuation at left tackle could be in line to happen again.
With Trapilo’s torn patellar tendon that he sustained in the Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers, the Bears have made a series of moves to add competition at left tackle. The Bears have reportedly re-signed Braxton Jones to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million.
