The Bears respect Aaron Donald, but they’re not afraid of him.
After playing just 21 snaps together in the preseason, the Bears’ offensive line will face a huge challenge against a Rams defense that ranked No. 1 in yards and points allowed — led by Donald, their dominant defensive tackle who won his third Defensive Player of the Year award last season.
But Bears offensive line coach Juan Castillo is confidence in his group — left tackle Jason Peters, left guard Cody Whitehair, center Sam Mustipher, right guard James Daniels and right tackle Germain Ifedi.
“When I first started [in the NFL], Jon Runyan was with us,” Castillo said, referring to the former Pro Bowl tackle with the Eagles.
