Bears’ Caleb Williams is a Tier 2 Quarterback per NFL Executives and Coaches
Mike Sando’s annual NFL Quarterback Tiers List is out at The Athletic, and the Chicago Bears have a Tier 2 QB in Caleb Williams, who was tied for 11th overall. The list is compiled by talking with 50 anonymous voters, consisting of various NFL executives and coaches, who ranked 35 veteran NFL quarterbacks. Here’s their criteria […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: Joe Thuney
As we continue to look at some key veterans on the Chicago Bears roster and whether the Bears should sign them to an extension (Cash), cut ties with them sooner rather than later (Slash), or play out another year and see where the player is at (Stash), we shift back to the offensive line and […]
Bears’ offense is back, Kaden Davis shines, Dayo Odeyingbo is motivated!
After two physical practices in full gear, the Chicago Bears were just in shorts and shells today. It was a shorter practice, including some walk-through in the red zone, but the crispness from the offense definitely picked up after a rough outing on Tuesday. “Caleb Williams in 7 on 7 drill today so far: 8/9 […]
Bears’ Offense Seeking Explosives Over Efficiency
Bears Offensive Coordinator Press Taylor met with the media this morning before training camp practice and gave everyone a glimpse into the mind of Head Coach Ben Johnson, along with some other noteworthy mentions of some key players. “I don’t think Ben has ever mentioned the word efficiency. We talk about explosive. We are trying […]
Bears activate T.J. Edwards from the Active/Non-Football Injury List
The Chicago Bears are getting one of their defensive leaders back, as starting middle linebacker T.J. Edwards has been activated from the Active/Non-Football Injury List. Edwards was placed on the list before training camp with a minor muscle strain suffered while working out on his own after the OTAs and minicamps concluded. He had already returned […]
Ryan Poles and the NFL Draft: Is he good enough? Part 2
This article series began as an exploration of the drafting proficiency of the last three Chicago GMs. To learn more about the process and methodology, please refer back to Part 1. However, to quickly summarize the last piece–when indexed against players at the same position drafted in the same rounds, Ryan Poles is more “like” […]
The Bear’s Den – Darnell Wright gets PAID plus more
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. Darnell Wright gets paid, setting a new market for Right Tackles. Wright earned the biggest second contract of any Ryan Poles draft pick, but he won’t […]
The Mac & Read Show: Bears’ Training Camp Takeaways
We are over a week into Chicago Bears training camp, pads went on for the first time yesterday, roster battles are in full swing, and the depth charts are starting to take shape. There’s also been a devastating injury (Coby Bryant), a roster move (link), and a massive contract extension handed out (Darnell Wright)! There’s […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: Gervon Dexter
In the last 16 months, we have seen some serious turnover on the defensive side of the football. Several of Matt Eberflus’ guys are already out the door, and Dennis Allen has spent the last two offseasons building a defense in his vision. The Bears have added a couple new names to the defensive line […]
Bears sign All-Pro RT Darnell Wright to 4-year, $116M extension
The Bears have signed right tackle Darnell Wright to a four-year extension worth $116 million with $93 million guaranteed, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday. With an annual average of $29 million, he will now become the highest-paid right tackle in NFL history. Wright, 24, has seen steady improvement each year in the NFL […]
Chicago Bears Offense struggles, plenty of 13, a fight, and more from camp!
I will begin with our regular reminder not to get too high or too low based on reports from training camp. But, the Chicago Bears had what one beat reporter characterized as their “sloppiest” offensive outing at practice this training camp in practice #6. There was also a bit of a scare when Luther Burden […]
Chicago Bears roster 2026: Kyle Monangai, Devin Bush, and Malik Muhammad are underrated
If you want to feel better about the fact that the Chicago Bears are the only NFL team without a 4,000-yard passer in its history, consider that 12 other teams hadn’t seen it happen for them until the new millennium turned around. And some of the league’s best current teams — the Houston Texans, Philadelphia […]
Injuries put more pressure on Dennis Allen, Bears defense to simply survive in 2026
It can happen to anyone, any team, at any time. Right now, unfortunately, the Chicago Bears are going through it. Safety Coby Bryant, arguably the centerpiece of this year’s free-agent haul, will reportedly miss 8-10 weeks after suffering a knee injury in yesterday’s practice—better than the alternative, as it won’t require surgery, but not ideal […]
Chicago Bears sign safety Marlen Sewell
With safety Coby Bryant’s injury sidelining him for eight to ten weeks, and with safety Elijah Hicks still on the PUP list, the Chicago Bears signed safety Marlen Sewell today. Sewell (6′, 199), a 2026 undrafted free agent from Vanderbilt, was originally signed by the Kansas City Chiefs after a May tryout, but was released […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: What offseason narrative is most tired?
It’s been a long offseason, but real football is back. In less than two weeks time the Bears will be taking the field against the Cleveland Browns to open the preseason. Already a handful of days into training camp and some players are already trying to reset narratives that have occurred throughout the summer break. […]
The Bear’s Den – The Injury Bug Bites At Training Camp
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. Unfortunately, the injury bug bit the Chicago Bears today, as starting safety Coby Bryant sustained a knee injury that will likely cost him the first few […]
From starters through depth, are you confident in the Chicago Bears’ offensive line?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country. Heading into the offseason, three-fifths of the Chicago Bears’ offensive line were locked in. Left guard Joe Thuney, a 2025 Pro Bowler, All-Pro, and winner of […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: Rome Odunze
As we continue our series of Cash, Stash, or Slash, we are going to look at Rome Odunze next, who I think you could argue is one of the most fascinating cases on the team. Odunze has had two good seasons at this point of his career, but there have been factors keeping him from […]
Report: Coby Bryant to miss 8-10 weeks
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the knee injury that Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant sustained today at practice would keep him sidelined for about eight to ten weeks with no surgery required. Schefter reports that Bryant hyperextended his knee, has a bone bruise, and a small fracture. All things considered, things could have been […]
Bears cooking with Garrett Bradbury, Luther Burden hype, left tackle competition
The Chicago Bears held their first padded practice today, which should be a joyous occasion, but the injury to starting safety Coby Bryant is a dark cloud hanging over everything. While there was no official word from the team, a couple of players chimed in post-practice, and we’ll share more information once we have it. […]
Bears Coby Bryant carted off with knee injury during practice (Updated)
The first padded practice for the Chicago Bears took a bad turn on Monday. Prized free agent acquisition Coby Bryant went down with a left knee injury and was carted off. Multiple camp reports noted he was emotional, slamming his helmet. Teammates went to offer him their comfort. He got onto the cart under his […]
Kyle Monangai Injury Update
After missing three straight days of training camp practice, concern has been growing among fans about Kyle Monangai’s whereabouts. This morning at his press conference, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson was finally asked to address it, and he called it a “soft tissue deal. “ “It’s really the status quo,” Ben said matter-of-factly. “We’re […]
Ryan Poles and the NFL Draft: Is he good enough? Part 1
Introduction One of the reasons I love the Windy City Gridiron community is because the members try to have engaged and thoughtful conversations in the comment threads, and the quality of discussion attempts objectivity and evidence-based reasoning even if all of us let our emotions come into play (we are, after all, fans). One question […]
The Bear’s Den – The Pads Go On Today
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. Today should show us the first day of padded practice in this year’s camp, if things go as scheduled. We haven’t been able to get any […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: Tyrique Stevenson
As we continue to look at potential candidates for extensions or roster turnover, we switch back to the defense, and we look at Tyrique Stevenson. Stevenson quickly became a fan favorite throughout his rookie season and kicked off year number two with a Pick Six against the Tennessee Titans. The sky was the limit for […]
