5 OL combinations Chicago Bears could deploy Week 1 of 2021

1. LT- Elijah Wilkinson, LG- Cody Whitehair, C- Sam Mustipher, RG- James Daniels, RT- Germain Ifedi

Let me say that this is not a ranking of preference, but rather a list of five possibilities. Still, when we are talking about week one, and we are talking about a short offseason again, we are talking about rookies being behind the learning curve.

Teven Jenkins is marker into left tackle in all four scenarios we have discussed, and we have not even discussed another possibility. For argument sake, if he gets dinged up, or just is a week or so behind his intended projection, the Bears may want to get Elijah Wilkinson out there. Wilkinson has experience in the NFL at LT and for a week or two could hold down the fort for Teven Jenkins.

Still, in this scenario, we do see the trio in the interior. While fans may hate this, this also may be a scenario that leads to Borom at RT and Jenkins at LT by the end of the season. If those two can slot into the line with that trio it may be worth a slow play.

If the Bears trust Mustipher, getting Borom on the field at right guard may not be worth it with Daniels and Whitehair at guard. So, they may just give him time on the bench to adjust to RT. The same could be said for Jenkins.

It is at least worth considering this as a potential combination for the Chicago Bears week one.
