He has to excel at left tackle to solidify line The departures of veteran linemen John Tait, who retired, and John St. Clair, who signed with the Browns, make the burden even heavier for Chris Williams. He already has grown tired of addressing whether his back is healthy enough to carry it.

Omiyale was initially brought in to provide depth and/or compete for the guard position, but with John St. Clair signing in Cleveland, and John Tait being placed on the injured/retired list, a bigger need presented itself. So much for Frank Omiyale lining up at left guard. The Bears new signee lined up at right tackle with the first unit during the second day of mini-camp Wednesday. Omiyale was the...
