Bears rookie Logan Jones could become option at center

Rookie Logan Jones currently sits behind Garrett Bradbury on the Chicago Bears' depth chart, but he could become an intriguing option if the offensive line's recent issues continue. The Bears selected Jones with the 56th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, a significant investment in a player they believe can eventually become a starter. For now, there's been no indication that Bradbury is in danger of losing his job. But Chicago's struggles with interior pressure and communication during its joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals put the center position under a brighter spotlight. If those problems continue, Jones gives the Bears something valuable: a talented young alternative waiting in the wings. The starting job belongs to Bradbury right now, but Jones' presence means the Bears don't have to simply live with persistent problems if they develop.
