As the Chicago Bears navigate Week 3 of the 2026 NFL Preseason, critical roster decisions loom large for head coach Ben Johnson. A recent analysis from Bears Now by Chat Sports highlights three significant changes the team must consider to address pressing issues. With ongoing struggles in the left tackle competition, the video proposes a bold move: shifting veteran Joe Thuney to left tackle and Jordan McFadden to left guard until Ozzy Trapilo's return. Furthermore, with Tyrique Stevenson sidelined, the discussion turns to elevating Malik Muhammad at outside cornerback. This could lead to Cam Lewis moving to nickel and Xavier Woods starting at safety, potentially reshaping the Chicago Bears' defensive backfield.
