Browns vs. Bears: Offensive line outlook for week 15

The Cleveland Browns head to the Windy City today to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Though the Browns’ offense has looked better over the past two weeks or so, Cleveland will be without a large portion of their starting offensive line today.

RT Jack Conklin and RG Wyatt Teller are both officially out, C Ethan Pocic is done for the year, and LG Joel Bitonio is listed as questionable for today’s game. There’s a good chance that Bitonio ends up sitting this one out after not practicing for two days this week due to his back bothering him again.

There could be four new starters on today’s OL unit, beginning with Luke Wypler at C.

Projected starting offensive line vs. Chicago:

The biggest question mark for today’s game will undoubtedly be at left guard. Garrett Dellinger is a rookie 7th-rounder who had some hype in the pre-draft process this year, but he fell to the 7th round, where the Baltimore Ravens snagged him. He was waived during roster cuts in August and was scooped up by Cleveland.

He started 24 games at left guard for LSU, was a 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl participant, and his overall play style should translate over pretty well to what the Browns do on offense.

There’s a slight chance that K.T. Leveston could start at LG today, and Cornelius Lucas at RT, but starting Dellinger might be more beneficial to the team. The coaching staff could view this as a prime opportunity to assess whether or not he’ll be a viable depth option for the team heading into 2026.
