Bounceback season from Grady Jarrett will be critical to Chicago Bears defensive resurgence in 2026

The Chicago Bears need Grady Jarrett to get back to a higher quality of play to help improve their significant weakness on the interior defensive line.

Caleb Williams completion percentage debate misses the bigger picture for Chicago Bears offense

Ben Johnson's emphasis on Caleb Williams' completion percentage is more about the offensive operation as a whole than just the quarterback's accuracy.

Ben Johnson hypes up Luther Burden at Chicago Bears OTAs, but don't sleep on Rome Odunze either

Ben Johnson says he's buying stock in Luther Burden at Chicago Bears OTAs, and for good reason. But that doesn't mean Rome Odunze is going to fall behind.

New edge rusher options emerging for Chicago Bears with Josh Sweat rumors and AJ Epenesa workout

The Chicago Bears worked out free agent edge rusher A.J. Epenesa right as trade rumors started heating up around Josh Sweat of the Arizona Cardinals.

Chicago Bears players who have the most at stake at OTAs and minicamp practices

OTAs are when the Chicago Bears' biggest roster battles officially begin and new players can make their first impression on the coaching staff.

Jaylon Johnson’s absence is nothing to worry about | Chicago Bears’ bigger concerns are at LT and DL

Jaylon Johnson isn't at Chicago Bears voluntary workouts, but it's not a real concern unless he misses mandatory practices.
