Ryan Poles shuts down position change on Chicago Bears offensive line
For the second-straight offseason, the Chicago Bears have a need to fill at left tackle.
After watching a competition that featured Braxton Jones, Theo Benedet and Ozzy Trapilo a year ago, the Bears finally thought they had their future starter in the rookie. As Trapilo took over mid-season, he was developing into a good left tackle. Then he got hurt.
Trapilo suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during the Bears win over the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round. It’s an injury that takes a long time to come back from, almost guaranteeing he will miss the 2026 season. On Tuesday, Ryan Poles met the media the scouting combine where he provided key information on Trapilo and the plan for the Bears moving forward.
Ryan Poles issues update on left tackle job
With the injury, Trapilo will miss the offseason and likely most of the 2026 regular season. But it doesn’t appear to be career-ending for the talented prospect the Bears took in the second round last year.
“Yeah, he’ll miss most of the year, but we expect him to come back and heal from that. There’s a plan in place,” Poles said. “I can’t give it a timeline or anything like that. I just don’t know. But yeah, we’re expecting him to be back and be himself. Pretty significant injury that he’s got to get through. But in terms of affecting his overall career or next year (2027), I don’t see that being an issue.”
So what will the Bears do? For the divisional round game, they turned to Joe Thuney who played really well. However, Poles doesn’t want to go down that route and prefers to keep Thuney in his normal spot.
“I would say only in a pinch,” Poles said. “We like him at left guard. That’s where we like him to play next year.”
The Bears will now look at the roster which only includes Benedet as Braxton Jones is a free agent. However, bringing Jones back for a year wouldn’t be a bad idea at all. They also could look at free agency and the draft for another solution.
