Trapilo Logs First-Team Reps as Bears Keep Left Tackle Decision Open

Ben Johnson says he will award the starting blindside spot to whichever tackle proves most consistent in limiting mental errors.

Overview

  • Ozzy Trapilo took first-team snaps after Saturday’s intense “king of the mountain” practice, but coaches stress the competition remains open.
  • Braxton Jones, returning from ankle surgery, saw his reps shift to the second unit as he works back toward full form.
  • Kiran Amegadjie sat out practice with a leg injury, reducing his opportunities in late-camp one-on-one drills.
  • Coach Ben Johnson has underscored consistency, minimal mental errors and the ability to win one-on-one matchups without extra help as key evaluation criteria.
  • A final choice is expected when training camp concludes, completing the Bears’ revamped line built to protect quarterback Caleb Williams.
