Bears Offensive Line Depth Takes a Hit: Eric Kush’s Season is Over

These things are inevitable as training camp ramps up for the preseason slate, but that doesn’t make it any less unfortunate.

The Bears’ strong offensive line group just took a hit:

Kush, 27, re-signed with the Bears on a two-year deal this past offseason after appearing in eight games last year (four starts), and projected to be depth at both of the guard positions. Per the Sun-Times, Cody Whitehair has been working on backing up the guard spots, with Hroniss Grasu playing center.
