Chicago Bears linebackers T.J. Edwards and Devin Bush have struggled against the run through two games, the article says. They have 15 tackles combined; rookie safety Dillon Thieneman leads the team with 17. Minnesota rushed for 119 yards against Chicago last week.
Bush signed a three-year, $30 million deal this offseason and was expected to fill Tremaine Edmunds’ role. If the starters do not improve, the article says, D’Marco Jackson could gain playing time. Fifth-round rookie Keyshaun Elliott could also get a role down the stretch, though he is still learning the defense after missing most of training camp.
