Amegadjie has battled a leg injury, returning to practice and re-entering left-tackle competition. While still working back, he’s part of the mix that could shape the opening-week protection if he returns to form and earns reps with backups before pushing for more.

Amegadjie’s injury opened a window for Benedet to climb into the left-tackle conversation. His return will influence the depth chart, but Benedet’s emergence already complicates Amegadjie’s trajectory, making the competition broader and more intriguing for Bears’ OL development.

Amegadjie is sidelined with an injury, creating depth concerns at left tackle. His eventual recovery and return will influence the reserve depth chart and may affect whether Benedet or other backups are needed in Week 1.
