The Chicago Bears have demoted J'Marcus Webb as their staring right tackle, though the team claims it is a planned move to get him more reps on the second team at left tackle.

Jordan Mills is scheduled to start in Webb's right tackle spot and Webb backing up Jermon Bushrod at left tackle.

"If he's going to be on our team, if he makes our eight (offensive linemen that make the 53-man roster), then he's going to have to play more than one spot, and this is an opportunity for him to get those reps," said offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer. "You don't want to have to do it on Wednesday of game week. You want to do it early in the season so he has a feel for what's going on."
