Open Extended ReactionsLAKE FOREST, Ill. -- After 17 training camp practices, the Chicago Bears still are looking for their starting left tackle to protect Caleb Williams' blind side. With the competition to protect Williams becoming more convoluted, coach Ben Johnson said he's looking for "clarity" as the team evaluates its options. But Johnson left the door open for the team to make a change after regular-season play begins. Trapilo, who was drafted 56th overall, has been in the left tackle mix since the spring. This week, the Bears moved Trapilo back to right tackle with the second-team unit in hopes of cross-training him at both spots.
