"The Bears have an offensive line that has had a rough training camp and preseason. The starting unit has been together for all of 21 preseason snaps, all in the first half of this third game. Nagy can’t say if left tackle Jason Peters will be conditioned to play an entire game against the Rams. Right tackle Germain Ifedi played for the first time. He allowed a sack, a pressure on Fields’ 20-yard touchdown pass to Jesper Horsted and was called for a false start.
Would it really be wise to roll Fields out behind this offensive line until the team has gotten a little better look at what it has"

Coal mine canary... keeping Fields safe from unsafe working conditions.
About OL, Peters looked so much better than I thought he will, he was best of the bunch! And he is 39, in no shape. Guy is good, real good, hopefully he stays as healthy as possible.

Two things stood out to me as I watched him. Even though he's old and not in true game-shape yet, he looked as good as Leno to me. Already. The other thing I noticed was that he was really sucking in the air like he wasn't in condition yet. That's to be expected and he will get in game shape pretty quickly. Will he get beat at times this year? Sure. But he should be at least as good as Leno there. Gotta hope he can stay healthy though.
