The Chicago Bears lose rookie LT Chris Williams

The Bears have lost rookie left tackle Chris Williams who needed surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back today.  This is a huge blow to the Bears as Williams was projected to start as a rookie this year.  The Bears will be trying to add another tackle to start this season because they don’t want to go with John St. Clair who often looks like a matador on the field.  He played in all 16 games (5 starts) for the Bears last season and it didn’t go too well.  St. Clair has now played 8 seasons in his NFL career covering 91 games (39 starts) and the Bears have to hope he doesn’t add many starts this season or Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton could both get beat up.
