With at least three Week 1 starters out — left guard James Daniels, center Cody Whitehair and right tackle Bobby Massie — and backup right tackle Jason Spriggs on the COVID-19 list, the Bears will have a makeshift offensive line in this game.
Seventh-round rookie Arlington Hambright is expected to start at left guard, with second-year undrafted free agent Alex Bars at center and former defensive tackle Rashaad Coward at right tackle. An injury to backup center Sam Mustipher last week left the Bear without a center on their roster — nobody who even played center in college, in fact.
