Expected to take over at tackle
Benedet is expected to start at left tackle for the Bears coming out of the team's bye, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bears benched Braxton Jones during their Week 4 win over Las Vegas and have reportedly worked toward making that move permanent during their bye week. Part of the reason for the move is Jones' ongoing struggles with an ankle injury, so he could regain his starting role if he returns to full health. Even if Benedet is the true starter for the foreseeable future, his ability to perform well in the role is certainly in question given that he entered the league as an undrafted free agent and spent all of 2024 on the Bears' practice squad.
