One photo from the Chicago Bears’ first full practice of the offseason during Monday’s OTA has caught fans’ interest. The Bears spent their most valuable pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on right tackle Darnell Wright. Wright was penciled in as a Week 1 starter by most analysts after the draft. But the rookie must prove his spot to the Bears coaching staff this spring and summer.

Larry Borom is getting reps with the Chicago Bears first team

Bill Zimmerman of Windy City Gridiron posted two photos from the Bears’ practice that showed interesting developments on the offensive line. Third-year offensive tackle Larry Borom was pictured getting reps with the first team. Center Dieter Eiselen was with the first team as well.

In the things that mean nothing department, Larry Borom is pictured at RT and it looks like Dieter Eiselen was at center during first OTA practice. #Bears pic.twitter.com/LmQQ3pWQjW

Chicago Bears fans react to Borom starting

The first practice of OTAs is way too early to read much into Borom and Eiselen getting reps with the first team. However, it is interesting to see Borom working to defend his spot on the depth chart. Borom posted a questionable Tweet after the Bears selected Wright. It looks like Borom is taking his job seriously this offseason.

Bears fans reacted to Zimmerman’s post not long after it was published. Here are the best takes of Borom and Eiselen getting reps with the first team at Monday’s OTA practice.

No this is a disaster. Darnell Wright already a bust. Season over

I get it means nothing and it’s only the first day but shouldn’t we want that QB-C chemistry clicking on all cylinders sooner than later? rotating centers just doesn’t make sense to me i guess especially because justin has no chemistry with any of them except a little from Lucas
