The Chicago Bears were prepared for an entire season without starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo, but the most recent news on his torn patellar tendon has altered that timeline prediction drastically. Braxton Jones Still Appears Favorite to Start at Left Tackle for Bears in Week 1Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated visited Bears camp recently and wrote about Trapilo being ahead of schedule on Monday. “Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills and Kiran Amegadjie are duking it out to start at left tackle. “And it looks like Ozzy Trapilo, who started six regular-season games at left tackle, then tore his patellar tendon in the wild-card round, might be back sooner than expected.” However, given Poles’ comments on Tuesday regarding Trapilo, Chicago’s hesitancy to spend big at the crucial position makes more sense.
