Jack Sanborn Remains The Starting Strongside Linebacker
1 year agoChicago Bears linebacker Jack Sanborn (ankle) remains the team's starting strongside linebacker, according to head coach Matt Eberflus. Sanborn wasn't able to practice all spring while recovering from an ankle injury he suffered last December, but the Bears remain hopeful that he'll be ready for the start of training camp in late July. In Sanborn's absence during offseason workouts, rookie fifth-rounder Noah Sewell got repetitions with the starting base defense and impressed the coaches. Sanborn, 22, ended 2022 on Injured Reserve and finished with 64 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in 15 games played. He moved into a full-time role after the Bears traded away Roquan Smith last year. Sanborn averaged 11 tackles per game when healthy and should be on the IDP fantasy radar.
