3 Chicago Bears players who could lose their starting jobs to rookies

Bears: Noah Sewell replaces Jack Sanborn as OLB

This might tug at the hearts of overly loyal Bears fans, but Jack Sanborn, as nice as a story it was to see him play, can be replaced. Not on the roster; he is far too valuable to let go. He needs to be on the roster, but the starting lineup is different. Noah Sewell is more than capable of jumping in the starting 11 and going from there.

If there is one thing Matt Eberflus knows about, it is linebacker play. Fortunately, the Chicago Bears are specialists at finding linebackers throughout their history, although there have been a few misses in recent years.

Sewell can earn the job; he has more than enough ability to make noise on the field. He has shown that he can play through rookie camp and everything else that has happened thus far. Whether or not that translates to more playing time or even a starting role remains to be seen. But he has an excellent shot to replace Sanborn in the starting lineup.
