Chicago Bears: Predictions for three key training camp battles

There are some position battles brewing for the Chicago Bears.

For the moment, the Chicago Bears are scheduled to open training camp on time. That is, at least according to the most recent reports, suggesting the NFL intends to keep its scheduled and open camp on July 28th, despite the number of COVID-19 related cases rising significantly each day.

While fans are cautiously optimistic about the season returning, there are certainly no guarantees in this ever-changing (almost daily) landscape.

But assuming the season proceeds as planned, there are a lot of interesting storylines heading into training camp for the Monsters of the Midway.

Of course, they are going to look to bounce back from such a disappointing 2019 campaign, and there are also a number of position battles that will go a long way in determining the success of the 2020 season.

Of course, there is the most important position battle of training camp, and that is for the quarterback position. Both Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky will be battling it out for the right to lead this team in 2020, but we’re not going to focus on the obvious position battle.

Instead, we’ll look at three other positions where the competition will be just as “open” as the quarterback position. We’ll also give our prediction for who will emerge victorious from each of these battles and ultimately claim the starting role.

With that said, let’s jump right in and kick things off with what will be one of the more intriguing battles of camp.
