Chicago Bears OT Larry Borom ranked top tackle in the NFL thus far into preseason
The Chicago Bears are coming off a tough 24-17 loss in Week 2 of the preseason to the Indianapolis Colts. The fans didn’t expect a win though, as HC Matt Eberflus rested all of his starters as a precaution after a long wait filled with intense joint practices. Coach was clearly worried about some potential injuries.
Well, he may have had this in mind, as offensive lineman Tevin Jenkins was just recently ruled out for a number of weeks. The offensive line hasn’t been able to catch any breaks lately, as it seems they’ve had the biggest injury bug case in the Chicago Bears locker room so far.
However, they may have a decent replacement, or sign of hope with the depth they have at the position. Pro Football Focus does rankings each week on the top players their respective positions, and this past week they released their rankings for tackles thus far in the preseason.
Not only did the Bears have the top slot, Larry Borom, but they also had the fifth spot in Kellen Diesch.

You can say what you want about PFF. Some people hate them, some people love them. But either way this shows that the backups may be having a pretty good camp. It’s always good to have serviceable backups, but especially on the offensive line.
