LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- There is uncertainty surrounding the Chicago Bears' left tackle position since Charles Leno played reasonably well filling in for veteran Jermon Bushrod (concussion/shoulder) the past three games.

With Bushrod expected to be healthy next week, the Bears must decide whether to stick with Leno or return the job to Bushrod.

“When you guys figure it out let me know,” offensive line coach Dave Magazu said. “I don’t know. I haven’t gotten that far. That will be something we discuss and move on from there. I don’t know. I’m not even lying. And I don’t have a problem lying to you guys.”

An eight-year veteran, Bushrod has made 95 career starts during stints in New Orleans and Chicago. The Bears signed Bushrod to a five-year, $36 million contract that included an $11 million signing bonus. All of the guaranteed money left on Bushrod’s deal runs out after 2015.

“Things for the most part take care of themselves,” Magazu said. “We’re going to need everybody on this roster from guys that haven’t even played yet to the No. 1 guy. It will take care of itself. You just hope the next guy up is ready to go.”

Leno is a former seventh-round pick who failed to seize his opportunity in the preseason and win the starting right tackle job. However, he has proven a better fit on the left side protecting quarterback Jay Cutler's blindside.

Magazu explained that Leno's technique is simply better at left tackle.

“I just think he’s better with his right hand and as a tackle, you really have to be versed with your inside hand,” Magazu said. “He’s comfortable and balanced right now. There is pace to his sets. Every once in a while he panics and you see him panic on a play. ... But he’s feeling comfortable and feeling confident and that’s half the battle. If you’re in that groove, you know, it’s like a baseball hitter -- sometimes that ball looks really big and other times it looks like a BB.”
