Could Ben Johnson's comments on Braxton Jones mean Bears line changes?

Johnson doesn't want to reveal any possible lineup changes or plans at this point but they did get Benedet 11 snaps against Detroit at left tackle in the blowout. Benedet had the highest Pro Football Focus blocking grade of any Bears player in the game, although it was only 11 plays.

Jones had the lowest PFF grade of any offensive players who had at least 13 plays in the game.

Johnson described how he assesses play each week and decides who's playing.

"Each week we evaluate everybody on the roster and so if a guy is playing well we let them know that and say that they're playing winning football for us, and if guys aren't playing well then we have to look into how do we help them and put them in a better spot to succeed, or do we need to get somebody else in there.

"That's a conversation that we have for every player on the roster. We'll see where we go each week and we'll see where we go on game day."

Could he refer to a possible change coming at left tackle?

The possibility would be Benedet right away getting a start, but there are other potential moves.

It was rookie Ozzy Trapilo getting the plays in competition with Jones before Benedet ascended, and after they moved Trapilo to backup right tackle behind Darnell Wright the idea of the rookie starting at left tackle didn't really come up again.

It's possible they could simply go back to Trapilo.

The other possibility is letting Trapilo play right tackle and move Darnell Wright to left tackle in mid-season.

"We made the decision that that (left tackle) wasn't the best spot for him," Johnson said of Trapilo.

However, he has noticed Trapilo improving at practices with his quickness and movement at right tackle.

"There will be a point this season where he's playing for us," Johnson said flat out. "You know, is that this week or is that a few weeks down the road? I don't know but he's preparing as if he's ready to go."

Johnson could have been speaking hypothetically, in case of an injury, but it's possible he also meant Trapilo definitely would play and this was the plan.

Where they're headed with all of this will be interesting starting this week.

Experimenting against a team struggling as much as the Cowboys are to get to quarterbacks with their rush might be a good idea.
