Other than the injury of Leonard Floyd, the most prominent Chicago Bears news was the apparent snapping struggles of starting center Cody Whitehair.
While the pre-season is the time to get these “yips” out of your system, and usually aren’t of any concern, it’s interesting to note that the Chicago Bears have moved rookie second-round pick James Daniels into the second-team center role in the past few weeks. It was a noteworthy move after Daniels was drafted to play guard according to GM Ryan Pace after the draft in April.
Initially, the move came after backup center Hroniss Grasu was set to be sidelined for some time, but it’s possible that the Bears could be preparing Daniels for a role they didn’t initially intend on.
