Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson shared injury news updates during his Monday availability with the media at Halas Hall. Among the biggest injury news notes Johnson shared ( via The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain ) is that rookie Shemar Turner suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
Shemar Turner was one of three second-round selections the Bears made in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texas A&M product was a tweener of sorts coming out of college because there was some position uncertainty surrounding...

Another rough injury to the Chicago Bears’ defense. This time, it is rookie defensive lineman Shemar Turner whose season is over with a torn ACL, per head coach Ben Johnson. Turner, one of the Bears’ three 2nd round picks in the 2025 NFL draft, was having a solid rookie year with 6 tackles and 2 […]

The moment Ravens pass rusher Mike Green exploded off the edge en route to sacking Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in the first quarter of Chicago’s 30-16 loss on Sunday, I immediately jotted it down as the moment that pushed me to start looking into left tackle prospects who will be eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft.
But I let the rest of the game play out because I didn’t want to overreact. While there were moments when Theo Benedet was holding his own on the edge, Nicholas Moreano (Marq...

The four-game winning streak is over, and so is the good vibes tour — at least for a week. The Bears ran into a buzzsaw in Baltimore and dropped a 30-16 decision to the Ravens , and this week’s episode of the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast (presented by Obvious Shirts) is all about unpacking what it means, what matters, and what’s noise.
We dig into Caleb Williams’ recent slump and ask the fair question: Is this just a rough patch for a young QB, or the first hint of real long-term concern...

If you are still trying to piece together how that Week 8 Chicago Bears loss happened, just know that you are not alone.
All Caleb Williams had to do was outperform Tyler Huntley and the Bears would’ve had a real shot at winning this game. And in the first quarter, he did. But then, the rest of the game happened. It should not sit well with anyone at Halas Hall that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was outplayed by a journeyman backup. Granted, Huntley is one of the league’s...

There are some persistent issues plaguing the Chicago Bears this season, but nothing more so than the penalties. The Bears have been flagged more than their opponents in every game this year, and in Sunday’s 30 to 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, they were penalized 11 times for 79 yards, while Baltimore was penalized […]

After an ugly 30-16 loss against the Baltimore Ravens, the Chicago Bears fell to 4-3. This loss ends a four-game winning streak for the team. From the poor quarterback play, bad kick-off coverage, play calling, lack of separation from receivers, inability to capitalize in the red zone, and the multitude of penalties, there’s a lot […]

Following the Chicago Bears’ game against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Ben Johnson was asked about the injury that saw nickleback Kyler Gordon land on injured reserve on Saturday. “We’re hoping it’s going to be of the short-term variety, so we should be able to get him back,” Johnson said. “But yeah, it’s another soft […]

No Lamar Jackson, no problem for the Baltimore Ravens.
But when it came to the Chicago Bears, there were lots of problems. All over the field. Offense. Defense. Coaching. Special teams. And the end result was a 30-16 win for the Ravens to snap the Bears’ four-game winning streak.

Growing pains. Growing pains. Growing pains. That’s what I have to keep telling myself after Bears games like this. Having said that, this one sucked. Lack of execution in all three phases. Poorly timed mistakes. Brutal special teams effort. It felt like a game like this was overdue after a few tight wins against bad teams. Baltimore’s record is bad, but they’re a good team, even without Lamar Jackson. They made the Bears pay for their sloppiness today.

For two completely separate reasons, the general sense was that both the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens needed to win this game to keep long-term playoff hopes alive. On Sunday, Baltimore proved to be the hungrier team. Lamar Jackson didn’t suit up for the Ravens, but their offense was still able to have their way […]

The fourth quarter is off to a roaring start for the Chicago Bears.
Facing a 10-point deficit to start the period, the Bears punched in a touchdown with a D’Andre Swift run:
