  Bears Camp — Sep 3: Sanborn and Lynch Are Back on the 53

  Chicago undid two of its own cuts on Tuesday, signing linebacker Jack Sanborn and defensive lineman James Lynch back to the 53 two days after releasing them, with Coby Bryant and Hayden Large to injured reserve. Ryan Poles would not guarantee Kyler Gordon plays for the Bears again, and a day later a rehab video showed him sprinting. Jaylon Johnson was full-go Wednesday.

  Bears Camp — Aug 31: Gordon Out at Least Four Games

  Kyler Gordon stayed on the physically-unable-to-perform list at Sunday's cutdown — out at least the first four games — and the same day the Bears traded Gervon Dexter Sr. to the Falcons for cornerback Clark Phillips III. Both tackles who lost the August battle are gone, Tyson Bagent went 16-of-17 in a 24-15 finale win, and Jaylon Johnson's right arm is the new Week 1 question.

  Bears Camp — Aug 23: Williams Can't Shake Cincinnati's Rush

  Cincinnati's pass rush owned the Bears' week — Caleb Williams closed Thursday's joint practice with consecutive sacks and an interception, then the starters opened Saturday's 27-9 loss with 28 passing yards and a stalled drive. Braxton Jones took the left tackle job back by simply returning, Kyle Monangai's knee is week-to-week, and the Kyler Gordon question now points straight at cut day.

  Chicago Bears Camp Update — August 16: Burden Is Out for the Preseason, Not the Opener

  The Burden diagnosis landed Monday — groin, done for the preseason, expected for the opener — and Ben Johnson says his concern level is "none." The Bears then beat Cleveland 34-10 with the starters watching, while the depth chart added a safety to surgery and left tackle stayed an open question.

  Chicago Bears Camp Update — August 9: Luther Burden Limped Off and Didn't Return

  The second-year receiver the passing game is being built around left Saturday's practice favoring his groin — the third time in a week camp has bruised him. Caleb Williams is getting sharper by the day, and the depth underneath both of them is exactly as thin as July said the regression tax would find.

  Chicago Bears 2026 Season Preview — Priced Like a Fluke

  The market has the reigning NFC North champion third in its own division — our regression flags are real, but a division winner with the league's best offense-adjacent floor and both play-callers back isn't a fluke, it's a good team due a tax.

Tied thirty-one to thirty-one with nine minutes left in the third quarter, the Bears scored twenty-eight of the next thirty-four points. The defense allowed thirty-seven points and three hundred sixty-one passing yards, which is the other half of the ledger.

  Bears, Week 3 — What Repeats: Three Balls Offered, Two Taken

  Chicago's defense forced 3 interception-worthy balls on Philadelphia's 26 throws and intercepted 2, one of the four highest rates in the league this week, while sending five or more rushers on 16 of 31 dropbacks (52 percent, second) and holding opposing passers under last season's catchable rate for a third straight week; on offense Case Keenum threw no interception-worthy ball on 34 throws and left the pocket on 5 of 35 dropbacks, and the run game gained 3.8 per designed run against a box that had emptied back to last year's.

  Bears, Week 2 — What Repeats: Seven in the Box, Five Rushing

  Minnesota sent five or more pass rushers on 31 of Chicago's 41 dropbacks (76%, the most any offense faced this week, against 31% last season) and showed a light box on only 7 of 28 designed runs, averaging seven in the box; the Bears' motion rate fell to 29% (30th) from 46% last season, play-action fell to 22%, and receivers dropped 3 of 23 catchable balls after none in Week 1.

  Bears, Week 1 — What Repeats: Williams Put Zero Up for Grabs

  The charting from Charlotte says Caleb Williams put 22 of 29 throws in a catchable spot — 76%, tied for ninth in the league this week, against 66% across all of 2025 — with none of the 29 charted interception-worthy, into a Carolina defense that sent five or more rushers on 37% of Chicago's dropbacks. The run game gained 232 yards on 32 designed runs against a box that averaged 6.4 defenders.
