Four of the five starters on the offensive line are set to return for the Bears in 2024. Jones impressed at left tackle during his rookie season and once again anchored that position during Year 2. A neck injury forced him to miss some time early, however. When he returned, Jones had his ups and downs when dealing with some of the NFL’s best edge rushers. He’s proven to be a capable tackle at the professional level, though, as he allowed just two sacks during the season. Speaking of rough starts, Jenkins missed the first four games with a leg injury while also switching positions for the third time in as many years. When he returned, though, he was one of the best guards in the NFL, whether he was playing on the left or right side. Jenkins allowed very little pressure when he was healthy and only struggled in the team’s regular-season finale against the Green Bay Packers.

While the Bears moved a few pieces around on their life side of the line, the right side was completely reworked last offseason. Chicago signed guard Nate Davis to a three-year deal worth $30 million after four years with the Tennessee Titans. Davis dealt with personal issues early in the season before suffering an ankle injury in October. When he was back and fully healthy, he was average at best. Davis only allowed one sack but could have had many more if not for Justin Fields’ escapability. As for Wright, he was the team’s first-round pick at right tackle at 10th overall. It’s the first time the Bears have used a top-10 pick on an offensive lineman in 40 years. Wright was the only lineman to play in every game and showed plenty of promise. He was also picked on quite a bit, too. Wright led the Bears line with 11 penalties and seven sacks allowed, but his development was always the goal in Year 1.

Larry Borom headlines the reserves, who spent the past season as the team’s swing tackle. He filled in for Jones during his absence with uninspiring results. Carter filled in for Davis but was primarily used on special teams. Kramer, Carvin, and…
