The Chicago Bears have wrapped up practice today, and there were plenty of media reports coming out of Lake Forest, like there usually are. But there was one piece of information that stood out to me as more important than anything else.

For most of the last three weeks, we’ve seen Braxton Jones and Ozzy Trapilo get regular reps with the 1s. The two of them have been regularly rotating. We’ve even seen Kiran Amedgadjie get a decent amount of reps with the 1s as the coaching staff tries to determine who will be protecting Caleb Williams’ blind side.

Another practice is in the books for the Chicago Bears.

Some reports indicate it wasn’t quite as intense as other recent practices have been, but they still went live. There were some ups and downs for the offense again, with procedure penalties and some drops.

Once again, there were some early pains for the offense, with some batted balls and incompletions, but it seems like after that, the starting offense turned it around.

In the battle for the left tackle spot, Theo Benedet got some run with the starters, while Braxton Jones worked LT with the ones and threes, and...

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson says starters, including quarterback Caleb Williams, will play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

While there isn’t an indication of how long they are going to play, but he emphasized that everyone who sat out last week would play this week.

Almost all starters sat last week, except left tackles Braxton Jones and Ozzy Trapillo, who are battling for the starting job. Rookies Colston Loveland and Luther Burden II also saw action, but they aren’t necessarily starters, depending on who you ask.

Expect a couple of series, but Johnson said it has to do with...

Man does it feel good to have Chicago Bears football back, and it equally feels good to be back to grading some QB film. The Bears hosted the Miami Dolphins last Sunday as each team played one another to a 24-24 draw. It was our first look at the 2025 rookie class, and most importantly (for me at least) the first look at our QB room, sans Caleb Williams, in 2025. So let’s take a dive, breakdown a few plays and figure out what we learned from week 1 of preseason!

The Chicago Bears kicked off their 2025 preseason with a 24-24 tie to the Miami Dolphins at Soldier Field on Sunday.

It’s exciting to have football to be able to break down again. Even though the Bears didn’t end up winning the game, there was some encouraging play to be found by some of their young players battling for playing time and roster spots.

As I did all of last year, I will be publishing five scouting reports on the performance of Bears players that fans want to hear about the most. All five of these scouting reports [will go...

Yesterday, we shared the report from the Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs that the Chicago Bears intended to sign a few defensive backs, and today those transactions, plus several more, were officially made.

Today, the Bears announced that they’ve signed cornerbacks Mekhi Garner and Kaleb Hayes, and safeties Mark Perry and Millard Bradford (5’10, 191). Bradford was the only one not reported yesterday, so here’s some background on the former TCU Horned Frog. He was a UDFA by the Saints last year, and he spent most of the season on New Orleans’ practice squad while appearing in three games, making three...

Buzz has been generating around one unexpected name during the Chicago Bears’ training camp: Olamide Zaccheus. The Bears signed the former Washington Commanders wide receiver in free agency on a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Zaccheus had just come off his career-best season with the Commanders. While the move was not a flashy one, many fans felt good about the signing as it would add depth to the position group.

However, according to reports from training camp, Zaccheus is adding much more to this offense than just depth. He has been a consistent standout player during camp, making fans and the...

It’s an unfamiliar problem. The Chicago Bears, for the first time in ever(?) have almost too many mouths to feed on offense. Of course, this really isn’t a problem in the modern NFL.

When top-tier teams like the Eagles have players like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley, or the Detroit Lions have players like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams, David Montgomery, and Sam Laporta, the Bears are in good company with their assortment of pass-catching options.

So, who do the Bears have to catch the football this year?

At WR, they have:

Over the weekend, it was reported that the Chicago Bears were going to sign running back Brittain Brown, but with the game on Sunday, that transaction was made official today. To make room on the roster, they waived/injured cornerback Ameer Speed.

With safety Major Burns and cornerback Terell Smith dinged up against the Dolphins, the Bears worked out eight defensive backs earlier today at Halas Hall: Kalon Barnes, Millard Bradford, Mekhi Garner, Kaleb Hayes, Keni Lovely, Mark Perry, Benny Sapp, and Jason Taylor. The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs reported that the Bears intend to sign Mark Perry to a contract,...

The Ben Johnson era is officially underway after the Chicago Bears tied the Miami Dolphins in their preseason opener, 24 to 24. Fans and content creators often rush to judgment based on preseason games, and while some important pieces of information emerged from that game, others are being overhyped right now and can largely be ignored. But what did we learn from the first preseason game of the year? Let’s dive into some observations and thoughts from the team’s performance.

At this point, anything we learned wasn’t very positive. Let’s start with Braxton Jones, who was largely...
