Overview
- Chicago is strongly considering the switch, per the Chicago Tribune, with a decision still pending before Sunday night.
- Rookie left tackle Ozzy Trapilo sustained a season-ending left patellar tendon injury in the wild-card win over the Packers.
- If the move happens, Jordan McFadden or rookie Luke Newman would likely step in at left guard.
- Braxton Jones was activated to the 53-man roster this week, giving Chicago another option at left tackle.
- A Thuney start at tackle would be the Bears’ fourth different left tackle this season as they face a Rams front featuring multiple 50‑plus‑pressure rushers, including Jared Verse, Byron Young and Kobie Turner.
