A lot of what the Bears’ offensive line looks like in 2018 depends on what they decide to do with four-time Pro Bowl OG Josh Sitton.
If the Bears pick up his $8 million option by March 9, Sitton is still an above-average starter, but he will be 32 in June and is no longer a Pro Bowl-caliber player. Injuries kept him out of three games last year and limited him in a couple others. Sitton’s last Pro Bowl season was 2016, when he went as an alternate.
Injuries could also determine what kind of performance the Bears get at the other OG spot, where Kyle Long missed the first two games in 2016 after offseason right ankle surgery and the final four with multiple injuries.
