2. Ja’Tyre Carter
Ja’Tyre Carter is listed as the Bears’ backup guard at right tackle. He’s played a lot of snaps with the first team during training camp and the preseason due to Nate Davis’ injury/personal issues–whatever the Bears refuse to call it publicly.
Carter, like Leatherwood, played well against the Titans but was terrible against the Colts. PFF gave Carter a 93.9 grade against the Titans but a 61.1 grade against the Colts.
Switching sides won’t be easy for the second-year guard. Jenkins said it takes a while for a player’s body to shift its weight to a new side. Jenkins said a lineman’s body must also form new muscle memory.
Carter could win the job, but he’ll have to show he can beat out Leatherwood after switching to the left side.
