Overview
- Ben Johnson said the staff will evaluate the first four games on film before naming a Week 6 starter at left tackle.
- Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reported Braxton Jones is not expected to start Oct. 13 at Washington, with Theo Benedet the likely replacement.
- Jones was benched during the Week 4 win in Las Vegas, and his early-season PFF metrics reflect struggles in pass protection and run blocking.
- After the in-game switch, the line settled with Benedet on the left and rookie Ozzy Trapilo at right tackle, and Johnson praised Trapilo’s response versus Maxx Crosby.
- Darnell Wright’s elbow recovery keeps right tackle unsettled, and Trapilo is expected to remain there until Wright returns, according to the Tribune.
