Projecting Bears’ starting offense ahead of Week 1

The Chicago Bears will host the San Francisco 49ers in their season opener on Sunday, and there are plenty of changes on offense heading into the 2022 season.

The Bears have a new offense under Luke Getsy, which will feature a run-heavy scheme and utilize the strengths of quarterback Justin Fields. While there are some familiar faces returning in Fields, David Montgomery, Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, there are plenty of new faces on the roster. The offensive line is one of the biggest question marks heading into the season, and there are a couple of new faces among the starting combination.
