3. Chicago Bears Offensive Line Update

One big note is Teven Jenkins at right tackle, while Larry Borom is on the left side. This could show that the team likes a healthy Jenkins over what they have seen from Borom. If you remember, Borom was on the left side during OTAs, so they may have been displeased with him there, move him to right, and are still not happy.

At the same time, this could be as simple as them not wanting to put one of them third string, so they moved Borom to left. Still, Braxton Jones is locked into left tackle, while Reiff is listed at right tackle, Borom has played right tackle exclusively in camp, and Jenkins is also listed on the right side, you can lock Jones into starting.

Lastly, at the center, Sam Mustipher is ahead of Doug Kramer, and at left guard, Lachavious Simmons is ahead of Zach Thomas. While one rookie is making a strong impression, you could argue that these two being so low is more an indictment on them than it is a glowing view of the two veterans.
