We might finally see the Bears' new promising lineman this Sunday!
Whether due to injury or not, the Chicago Bears are at a point where they must evaluate OL Alex Leatherwood and get an idea of whether he can fill a spot for next season.
Well, here is what Larry Mayer had to say about his potential chances of suiting up this weekend and actually getting some playing time.
I've been eager to see Alex Leatherwood get some playing time. With the injuries at right tackle, do you think the Bears might start him against the Packers?
After Riley Reiff (shoulder) and Larry Borom (ankle/knee) both exited last Sunday's loss to the Jets with injuries, coach Matt Eberflus mentioned Monday that potential replacements could be Alex Leatherwood or Michael Schofield III, who entered the game after Borom was injured. (Borom had replaced Reiff early in the contest, while Leatherwood was inactive.) Both Reiff and Borom sat out practice Wednesday, so we'll have to continue to monitor that situation as the week progresses. Eberflus said Wednesday that he's been impressed with the strides that Leatherwood has made since he returned to practice Oct. 12 after missing about a month with an undisclosed illness. Said Eberflus: "We've seen progress cause he's played inside and outside for us over the last several weeks [in practice] since he came back. We are excited and intrigued to see where it goes because he's a heck of an athlete at that position if he has the opportunity to play, I think he'll play well."
