While the Bears’ offensive line has been among the best in the league, the common weak spot has been left tackle. Braxton Jones was the week one starter and struggled badly. Then, Theo Benedet came in and replaced Jones.
Benedet was a big improvement but struggled badly in both pass protection and penalties. When Benedet got injured ahead of the Steelers game, the Bears made the switch to Trapilo.
The second-round rookie has found his footing following losing the competition in training camp. The Bears have finally a permanent left tackle moving forward.
