Theo Benedet
24-Year-Old
Signed a one-year, $840,000 contract with the Bears in January of 2025.
Sidelined for Week 12
Benedet (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Benedet appeared to suffer the injury during practice, as he was a limited participant Thursday and Friday after not being listed on the report Wednesday. This will be the undrafted rookie's first absence of the season, opening up an opportunity for fellow rookie Ozzy Trapilo to start at left tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to take over at tackle
Benedet is expected to start at left tackle for the Bears coming out of the team's bye, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bears benched Braxton Jones during their Week 4 win over Las Vegas and have reportedly worked toward making that move permanent during their bye week. Part of the reason for the move is Jones' ongoing struggles with an ankle injury, so he could regain his starting role if he returns to full health. Even if Benedet is the true starter for the foreseeable future, his ability to perform well in the role is certainly in question given that he entered the league as an undrafted free agent and spent all of 2024 on the Bears' practice squad.
