Bears Veterans Are Seeing a Different Team Take Shape
The Chicago Bears held multiple player press conferences following Day 4 of training camp on Saturday, including pressers with tight end Cole Kmet and cornerback Jaylon Johnson. Both were selected by Chicago in the 2020 NFL Draft, making them the longest-tenured players on the roster. Now entering their seventh season with the organization, Kmet and […]
Bears’ Cole Kmet just wants to win
Since Ben Johnson took over as head coach of the Chicago Bears, tight end Cole Kmet has seen his opportunities in the passing game shrink, while being asked to do more as a blocker. His 48 targets, 30 receptions, and 347 yards in 2025 were his lowest since his rookie season (2020), but that’s fine […]
Chicago Bears send fans home from training camp
This morning, the Chicago Bears canceled the “open” part of practice due to inclement weather, and fans were sent home. It was raining, and there was lightning in the area, so they began practice indoors at the Walter Payton Center. The decision wasn’t made until well after many fans had already gathered at Hawthorn Mall, […]
Coby Bryant and the Bears’ Defense step up, another new left tackle, and more
While the Chicago Bears’ defense had a couple of nice moments yesterday, they really stepped up on Saturday. After mostly glowing reviews of the Bears’ offense at previous training camp practices, today, the consensus from the beat reporters was that the defense won the day. This was supposed to be an open practice for fans, […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: Garrett Bradbury
As we continue to look at the future of the Chicago Bears and what should be done contract-wise with some key veteran players who don’t have many years left on their contracts, today we pivot back to the offensive line and look at Garrett Bradbury. Drew Dalman certainly threw the Bears a curveball when he […]
Question of the Day: Who Will Lead the Team in Rushing Yards?
With D’Andre Swift in the final year of his contract and former 7th round steal Kyle Monangai entering year two after an incredibly productive rookie season, I can’t help but wonder who Ben Johnson will feed more this season, so I thought I would ask the question here: Who will lead the Chicago Bears in […]
Chicago Bears Defense Strikes Back but Williams-Loveland Connection Shines
A recap of Chicago Bears training camp practice number 3. The Chicago Bears beat reporters noted the defense got on the board today with Caleb Williams registering his first interception in the 7-7 drill, picked by Jaylon Johnson, and the defense gave trouble to the offense in the red zone. But the Williams-Loveland connection was […]

Earlier this week, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles was asked about a possible contract extension for right tackle Darnell Wright. “I think there’s a window to get a deal done. and then at some point we got to go play football, Poles said at his press conference. “So we’ll figure that part out, but […]
Cash, Stash, or Slash: TJ Edwards
The Chicago Bears will have several contract decisions to make over the next 13 months. The Bears have several veterans from the Matt Eberflus era that will have contracts expiring, and the Bears will have to decide if they want to keep them. There are plenty of younger players from the 2023 and 2024 draft […]

Chicago Bears offense ‘wins’ the day (still no pads though)
The Chicago Bears beat reporters were all pretty much in agreement in their praise for the offense on day two of training camp practice. “Good day overall for the offense,” shared Bear Reports’ Zack Pearson, who had a nice recap thread about the day. “Massive day for Luther Burden, he was the most targeted receiver […]
Rome Odunze Clarifies his new normal comment – “I’m completely fine”
Speculation has swirled ever since Rome Odunze made comments about his “new normal” following a foot injury that slowed him for much of the 2025 season.

Are you sick of hearing about 13 personnel yet?

Ben Johnson Named the 3rd-Best Play Caller by NFL DCs.
As Bears fans, we all loved what we saw last year out of Ben Johnson. It was an offense Bears fans have dreamed about, literally their whole lives. We thought we might have had a glimpse of an offense with Marc Trestman in 2013, but that quickly derailed. Matt Nagy gave up hope, but the […]

The Chicago Bears reported to Halas Hall yesterday for training camp, but today they were out on the field for a crisp 75ish-minute practice.

Chicago Bears 2026 Training Camp Position Breakdown: Offensive line
I was concerned about the Chicago Bears’ offensive line after Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman retired, but after thinking about how Ben Johnson schemed around their left tackle problems, and how Dan Rouschar coached this group up in 2025, I’m not worried. The Bears quickly addressed center in free agency, and they did it again […]
