The Chicago Bears gave Elijah Wilkinson the start at left tackle on Saturday afternoon against the Miami Dolphins, and if we’re being honest here I had some concerns. I wasn’t impressed with his previous Denver Broncos tape at right tackle, and the thought of him being Chicago’s starting left tackle for week one isn’t something I’d be excited for.
The Bears added veteran left tackle Jason Peters over the weekend, so they clearly have some hesitation in Wilkinson starting for them as well.
But after re-watching the Dolphins game, Wilkinson wasn’t bad.
