Braxton Jones Secures Starting Left Tackle Position for Chicago Bears

Braxton Jones has been named the starting left tackle for the Chicago Bears, a decision made by head coach Ben Johnson following a competitive training camp with multiple contenders.

Jones, who was re-signed to a one-year contract after Ozzy Trapilo's injury, has had a challenging career marked by injuries but has demonstrated potential, achieving a Pro Football Focus grade of 77.4 in the 2024 season.

Having played 46 games and started 44 for the Bears, Jones is determined to maintain his starting role despite the looming competition from Trapilo once he is fully recovered. Jones expressed pride in his journey back to the starting position, emphasizing his commitment to continuous improvement.
