Report: Bears are signing OL Michael Schofield

The Chicago Bears have added some much-needed within the interior of the offensive line with the signing of veteran Michael Schofield, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic.

The Bears hosted Schofield for a workout on Sunday.

Schofield has started 81 regular season games during his seven-year tenure, where he’s seen time at multiple positions along the offensive line. But he’s played right guard for most of his career, which makes sense for a team like the Bears with a gaping hole at right guard.

In 2021, Schofield played in 15 games with 12 starts for the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Bears had a glaring hole at the right guard position following the departure of James Daniels in free agency. Sam Mustipher and newcomer Dakota Dozier were battling for the starting job this offseason before Dozier landed on injured reserve.

Schofield figures to be the favorite to start at right guard this season for the Bears, and he brings some stability to the interior of the offensive line.
