Overall, the Chicago Bears offensive line has been the laughing stock of the NFL through three weeks of the season.
Now, things are about to go from bad to worst as right guard Darnell Wright is currently suffering a back injury. He did not practice today and it is up in the air whether or not he will get to play at all come Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. When asked about a replacement, head coach Matt Eberflus noted the team has worked out plenty of guys who could do the job.
«During training camp we worked our different options that we have there and I think it's important that we utilize that flexibility for some people,» Eberflus said. «Again, without saying too much, obviously, we're hopeful he comes back but we'll work those combinations during practice.»
Eberflus also spoke on the issues with consistency that the offensive line has had. With Wright injured, he does not want to make any hasty decisions. Essentially, he wants the players to work hard for their role. However, that could be a lot easier said than done right about now.
«We're looking for the best five,» Eberflus said. «We don't want musical chairs in there. We're not at that point. We want guys to solidify themselves in there by their performance and then keep going in terms of the consistency.»
