​Chicago Bears training camp is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start looking ahead at the roster the team is bringing to Lake Forest this month.Rookies and quarterbacks are set to report to Halas Hall on July 25 with veterans following on July 28. But before that, we’re unveiling our Bears 2026 training camp position previews, where we’re breaking down every player by position and examining the biggest question facing the group.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOne of the most important positions is in the spotlight here: Offensive line, where quarterback Caleb Williams was able to take a huge step in his development because of the protection in front of him. Injuries and retirements have opened the door for new opportunities for some young and veteran players alike, where the unit can not afford any slip ups in production.

In the massive change that Chicago’s unit took in 2025, Jackson is a veteran who came in having familiarity with Ben Johnson and was able to bring in consistency at the right guard position, while sharing his experience to help mold the offensive line together because of his time with Johnson.The presumed starter at left tackle, Braxton Jones has plenty of motivation behind him to earn his old starting job back with the injury to Ozzy Trapilo keeping the door open. Jones has always been a respectable starter at the left tackle spot, but has been unable to reach that mark of a cornerstone offensive lineman, sim
