Updated look at Bears offensive line depth after Riley Reiff signing

The Bears addressed a huge need at left tackle with the signing of veteran Riley Reiff, who’s signing a one-year deal worth up to $12.5 million, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The move comes just one day after the team addressed a huge hole at right guard with the addition of Michael Schofield. Reiff has been solid at left tackle over the last decade, and he brings stability and experience to an offensive line looking to keep Justin Fields upright. With Reiff joining the roster, he certainly appears to be the favorite to start at left tackle.

He started 12 games before landing on injured reserve in December. Reiff fills a big hole at the tackle position, and it’s a safe bet that he starts at left tackle this season.

The Bears signed veteran Michael Schofield to a one-year deal ahead of training camp, where he projects to fill a huge hold within the interior. Schofield has started 81 regular season games during his seven-year career, where he’s seen time at multiple positions along the offensive line. But he’s played right guard for most of it, which makes sense for a team like the Bears with a gaping hole at…
