Ex-Bears

[AZ54]

I'm just scanning reports from around the league and have come across a few surprising "starters" who used to play for the Bears:

Vikings:   Cornelius Edison will be the starting center for the Vikings this week.  Elflein is still their starter but I was still surprised to see them relying on Edison to protect Cousins on his first outing.  Tom Compton will be next to him.

With Easton, Elflein and right guard Mike Remmers — who is battling an ankle injury — out again Monday, the Vikings put Tom Compton at left guard, second-year man Cornelius Edison at center and Danny Isidora at right guard.

 

Steelers:  Jon Bostic is in the lead to be the starting OLB replacing Ryan Shazier.

Colts:  Andrew Luck will have his blind side protected by J'Marcus Webb this week.  Given the nature of the injuries on their Oline that might carry into the regular season.

General manager Chris Ballard admitted that he "screwed up" the team's 2017 offensive line and spent the offseason building depth on the unit. That depth is already being tested, with recent signee J'Marcus Webb going from the street to first-team left tackle in less than a week.
