3 biggest Chicago Bears storylines after 1 week of training camp
1. Rookies hit the ground running
Another question just last week was whether Jaquan Brisker would get signed before training camp started. The answer was yes, and from the first day of training camp, he was getting starters snaps.
Kyler Gordon was already signed, and he has not only jumped in as a starter, but he was also working on the outside, and in the slot as a starter.
Braxton Jones held down starting work until Riley Reiff was ready. Zach Thomas got first teamwork at left guard when Cody Whitehair took a day off, Ja’Tyre Carter started at right guard when Mustipher moved to center, and Kramer started at center with Patrick injured.
Dominique Robinson has mostly worked second team, but has had glowing reviews, and lastly is Elijah Hicks who missed OTAs, but has been able to get onto the training camp field.
The rookies on the offensive line are not expected to start, but they are getting valuable work. In the secondary, they have two day-one starters.
