Report: Bears have checked in on Buccaneers DT Vita Vea
The Bears are one of a few NFL teams who have called the Buccaneers regarding the trade availability of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported on Friday. It’s worth noting that Garafolo said the Buccaneers still plan on keeping Vea, though the Bears are one of the confirmed teams to […]
Jordan van den Berg can’t wait to play the Browns, and Bears fans can’t wait to watch
Chicago Bears rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg has been one of the most surprising players at training camp. It seems that every day someone (reporters, coaches, fans in attendance) has shared how impressed they are with him. He flashed early on this offseason, and then once the scrimmages and drills started, he opened […]
Five Ways It Could All Go Right for the Chicago Bears in 2026!
Hello Chicago Bears fans! In the first part of this series, I indulged the doom and gloom, the pessimism, the glass-half-empty perspective on the forthcoming 2026 NFL season for the Chicago Bears. I explored five ways it could all go wrong for the Beloved. Today, however, everything is going to be sunny side up. Glass […]

Here’s your daily heaping helping of all the Chicago Bears news that’s fit to share, what’s going on with the NFL and, of course, a look at The Enemy. The man, the legend Tyson Bagent will show us what a year of study under the guidance of Ben Johnson can do for his game. My […]
Tyson Bagent ends practice with a long TD; will start for Bears on Saturday
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson met the media today before training camp practice and shared his plan for Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. He said that Caleb Williams and several offensive and defensive starters would not play, which, in case you’re wondering, is exactly what they did for preseason game #1 last year. […]
Kevin Warren on stadium: Focus is on Hammond, but no date for next steps
Chicago Bears president Kevin Warren and chairman George McCaskey met with the media Thursday afternoon for their annual preseason briefing. While unfounded reports on X, the everything app, suggest today would be the big, huge announcement we’ve all been waiting for, it was not. Following his usual opening remarks of complimentary platitudes, his actual remarks […]
A Day at Halas Hall
Bryan got to take his wife and two eldest to Bears training camp for the first time for “Women and Girls in Sports Day.” Here are his takeaways. Transportation I stayed at a hotel nearby Halas Hall and it was just a quick shot over to the mall where the free shuttle picked up droves […]
Chicago Bears roster by jersey number, last name
The Chicago Bears begin their quest to repeat as NFC North champs on September 13 in Carolina, but before that, they play three preseason games where the bottom of the depth chart players will try to earn their way onto a roster. Whether that’s Chicago’s 53-man active roster, their 16-man practice squad, or perhaps they’ll […]
The Bear’s Den – New Chicago Bears Stadium news incoming?
Here’s your daily heaping helping of all the Chicago Bears news that’s fit to share, what’s going on with the NFL and, of course, a look at The Enemy.

Welcome to the latest episode of Bears Over Beers! This week, join our hosts Ryan Droste and Bryan Orenchuk as they catch up once again and look at some of the hot topics right now in Chicago Bears news. Both Ryan and Bryan had a chance to attend Chicago Bears training camp in Lake Forest […]
Making Monsters: Adam Jahns breaks down everything from Bears camp
It’s always a good time catching up with CHGO’s Adam Jahns, so on her brand-new Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll did just that. Adam has a bunch of stuff to unload from his Halas Hall notebook about Chicago Bears training camp, including the latest on the injured players, the hottest camp battles taking place, and […]
Chicago Bears Artwork: Remembering Stu & Lew Merrell
Back in 2021, I published a story on the history of Chicago Bears artwork centered on an artist named Jerry Keefe. The late cartoonist drew his last program cover in 1961 for the Chicago Bears, but the images kept showing up in new ways, and I wanted to tell a story that seemed to be […]
Bears Host Annual USAA Salute to Service NFL Boot Camp at Halas Hall
Yesterday at Halas Hall, the Chicago Bears and USAA held their annual Salute to Service NFL Boot Camp, where service members based at Naval Station Great Lakes (IL) got to compete in drills similar to those used by NFL coaches to evaluate players. Those drills included the 40-yard dash, broad jump, three-cone shuttle, receiving gauntlet, […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: Will injuries in the secondary derail the season?
I’ve been trying to argue on behalf of the Chicago Bears’ secondary for three seasons now. There is just too much talent to ignore. This year, Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Coby Bryant, Dillon Thieneman, Tyrique Stevenson, Malik Muhammad, Terrell Smith, and Cam Lewis are a formidable group. Throw in the likes of past Bears Kevin […]

Here’s your daily heaping helping of all the Chicago Bears news that’s fit to share, what’s going on with the NFL and, of course, a look at The Enemy. Some of the injury news we got today was amazing. Literally. Fans, media members and some medical people were shocked to learn how far along Ozzy […]
Chicago Bears have their most physical practice yet
After a low-impact walk-through practice at Stevenson High School yesterday, the Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for what head coach Ben Johnson called a “big time practice” today. The plan was to simulate the pregame for all the new guys and have plenty of live scrimmage situations, starting with some short-yardage and goal-line […]
Chicago Bears Make Roster Moves
The Chicago Bears announced that they have signed offensive lineman Wesley French, a center who was originally an undrafted free agent by the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. In the corresponding transaction, they have waived defensive back Brandon Hill, who was just signed on Sunday. The 29-year-old French (6’4”, 307) was part of a three-man tryout […]
The Bears should have one goal on Saturday: Stay healthy
The Chicago Bears and their fans should want to see one thing when they face the Cleveland Browns for their first preseason game this Saturday. One thing, and one thing only. I mean, sure, some clean offensive operation and maybe a touchdown pass from Caleb Williams in his lone drive (assuming he plays) would be […]
Chicago Bears Provide Coby Bryant Injury Update
Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson revealed that new free agent acquisition Coby Bryant will be out for 4-6 months after having surgery this past Friday on his knee. The injury occurred on the first day of padded practices when Bryant went up against Cole Kmet and came down awkwardly after getting tangled up with […]
Bears LT Ozzy Trapilo Could Return Before Training Camp Concludes
Chicago Bears LT Ozzy Trapilo is significantly ahead of schedule when it comes to returning from a serious injury he suffered in last year’s playoffs. Trapilo injured his patellar tendon during the closing moments of the Bears’ Wild Card round playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers on January 10. Most expected that he would […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: Jaylon Johnson
When we started the Cash, Stash, or Slash exercise, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really thinking about including Jaylon Johnson. Johnson is only under contract for two years, so he would be an extension candidate after this season, but with the injuries and the change in defense, I felt better to leave Jaylon be and […]
Chicago Bears Release First Unofficial Depth Chart
With a preseason football game scheduled in five days, the Chicago Bears Communications team released the first unofficial depth chart of the season. Now, before you run down and look at the first, second, and third strings, re-read that opening sentence. It’s put together by the Bears’ communications team, so the coaches were not consulted. […]
Bears Question of the Day: Do you like the idea of playing most starters in the preseason?
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johson has yet to announce if his starters will play this Saturday against the Cleveland Browns in their preseason opener. Last year, he did play Caleb Williams and many staters in weeks two and three, but that was year one of the scheme, so we’ll have to wait and see […]

Here’s your daily heaping helping of all the Chicago Bears news that’s fit to share, what’s going on with the NFL and, of course, a look at The Enemy.
