The Bears drafted Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft and upgraded weapons for their incoming rookie quarterback last offseason. But offensive-line continuity — an underappreciated piece of the Bears’ offensive puzzle — is a problem the Bears just can’t seem to solve.

The ever-revolving door will continue this week, with left tackle Braxton Jones out for the season and slated for surgery after breaking his ankle in a 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

It’s Jones’ third significant injury this season. He suffered a knee injury against the Commanders and missed the following two games against the Cardinals and Patriots.
