The Chicago Bears offensive line has been a hot topic of conversation throughout the offseason. And on the final day of training camp, things have gotten interesting.
For the second straight practice, Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom lined up at right guard and right tackle with the first-team offense. They also started last Thursday’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks.
At this point, it sounds like the right guard and right tackle jobs are Jenkins and Borom’s to lose. Not that Eberflus would hint that Jenkins or Borom are the presumptive starters.
“It’s about guys who can sustain the performance, can sustain execution, and then take that to the first week,” Eberflus said. “So we’ll let that play out and we’ll see where it is.”
Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom remain with the 1s during the first team period this morning.

The Bears have remained true to their promise to explore all possible combinations this summer, which has included a position move for Jenkins and Borom getting another shot at right tackle.
Chicago has promised to put the best five guys out there on the offensive line. And while there are still a few weeks before the start of the regular season, the final starting offensive line combination of training camp feels significant.
