When the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears to open their 2018, the Packers will have some serious questions to answer when it comes to the depth in the middle of their defense. Fortunately for the Chicago Bears, they may have the personnel to match up with this weakness.
At middle linebacker, there is a significant void next to Blake Martinez. Jake Ryan was supposed to step in and handle that duty. However, Ryan tore his ACL this offseason. Rookie Oren Burks was set to step in for Ryan, but a shoulder injury in his last preseason game has him on the sidelines this week in practice.
