Chicago Bears’ immediate left tackle answer gets Ben Johnson endorsement

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chicago Bears Ben Johnson

The Chicago Bears had a concrete plan at left tackle through the first three weeks of the season. Braxton Jones operated as the starter while Theo Benedet continued to rehab his Achilles injury.

But in Week 4, the Bears were forced to make a change as Jones picked up a knee injury of his own. The tackle was ultimately placed on injured reserve.

In his absence, Chicago turned to swing tackle Theo Benedet. He performed admirably overall, as the Bears at large allowed just one sack and opened up holes for 232 yards and two touchdowns. Chicago holding the ball for 42:45 was made possible in part due to the strength of the offensive line.

Trapilo may eventually be the answer at left tackle. But in the wake of Jones’ injury, Benedet is getting an opportunity. And the head coach likes what he sees.

Benedet has experience filling in amid injuries, as he started eight games as a rookie in 2025. With now 20 games of NFL experience, Chicago feels confident turning to Benedet when necessary. His play against the New York Jets only strengthened Johnson’s belief in him, via Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

“I thought he did a really nice job,” Johnson said. “We know he’s got the ability to sink and play with low pad level and displace defenders at the point of attack. He showed that at times, so it’s a good start for him to learn from and grow from.”

“I’m glad he felt somewhat more comfortable out there,” he continued. “I think him and (left guard) Joe (Thuney), they communicate well together on the left side, and it’s certainly something that we can continue to improve and get better at also.”

Until the Bears clear Trapilo for live game action, Benedet seems likely to hold down the fort at left tackle. As Johnson continues to dial up his explosive offensive, he sees no issues with that alignment.
