Overview
- Braxton Jones was benched during the Week 4 win over the Raiders, with Theo Benedet shifting to left tackle and rookie Ozzy Trapilo taking over at right tackle.
- Multiple reports, including the Chicago Tribune, say Benedet is the likely Week 6 starter at Washington, though the team has not made a formal announcement and calls the situation fluid.
- Ben Johnson said coaches will review the first four games during the break to determine the best lineup based on performance and scheme.
- Game analysis noted the line stabilized after the switch, with Benedet allowing no pressures at left tackle the rest of the way and coaches praising his run blocking.
- Darnell Wright, out with a right elbow injury in Week 4, is expected to be available around Week 6, giving Chicago added flexibility after Trapilo’s solid debut.
