In this episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, Pat The Designer and ESPN's Courtney Cronin, brought to you by The Advantage Dealer Group and The Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, wrap up the Bears' Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and delve into the most intriguing position battle on the roster: the left tackle spot.

Timestamps:

00:00:00 – Offensive Line Stability: Pat and Courtney discuss the newfound stability in the Bears' offensive line, highlighting the impact of offseason acquisitions like guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, and center Drew Dalman.

00:10:00 – Left Tackle Competition: The hosts analyze the open competition at left tackle, noting that incumbent Braxton Jones is recovering from a fractured ankle sustained in December 2024 and is expected to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. This opens the door for second-year pro Kiran Amegadjie and rookie Ozzy Trapilo to vie for the starting role.

00:21:00 – Confidence in Braxton Jones: Despite the competition, there's a belief that Braxton Jones, who earned a 77.4 grade from Pro Football Focus in 2024, ranking 20th among 140 tackles, will reclaim his starting position once healthy.

00:26:00 – Mandatory Minicamp Preview: Looking ahead, Pat and Courtney preview the Bears' mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 3-5, where the coaching staff will further evaluate the offensive line and other key positions.

Join Pat and Courtney for an in-depth analysis of the Bears' offensive line dynamics and what to expect as the team progresses through the offseason.
