The first Chicago Bears injury report of Week 9 is OUT, and it fills me with mixed emotion. There is some good news to start the week. It would be a welcome sight if that carries over through the rest of the week and into Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. But there is also some concerning news. It feels too early to call it bad news, but there are some names on the Bears injury report that we’ll keep an eye on throughout the week.
Chicago Bears Injury Report — October 29, 2025...
On Wednesday morning, the Detroit Lions inked star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a f our-year extension worth $180 million . Hutchinson’s deal includes a $141 million guarantee. The annual average comes in at $46.5 million, making Hutchinson the second-highest-paid pass rusher in the NFL, just behind Micah Parsons and ahead of T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett. That’s bad news for the Chicago Bears.
Here’s a look at what elite pass rushers—who have reset the market in 2025—are making these da...
Let’s discuss Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos and his future with the team.
Cairo Santos has been a quality kicker for this team. Since rejoining the squad in 2020, he has made 89.3 percent of his field goals and has even had some memorable game-winners. No matter what happens with Santos in the future, we’ll always have the time his 51-yard boot beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field to end the 2024 regular season for Chicago’s football team.
With that being said, the 33-year...
The Chicago Bears signing a new player to their secondary has me thinking about what it could mean for Kyler Gordon.
If you missed it, the Chicago Bears are reportedly set to sign free-agent defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson on Wednesday morning. Once the move is officially official, the Bears will have a veteran presence in their defensive backfield. As a bonus, they’ll be adding a player familiar with Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen (CJGJ played for DA in New Orleans from 2019-...
Aidan Hutchinson will continue to be a pain for the Chicago Bears and the NFC North for years. His agent, Mike McCartney, tweeted that the star pass rusher agreed to a four-year extension with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapaport , Hutchinson’s new deal is worth $180 million over four years, with $141 million guaranteed. The annual average comes in at $46.5 million, making Hutchinson the second-highest-paid pass rusher in the NFL, just behind Micah Parsons...
With several injuries to the secondary this season, the Chicago Bears are signing veteran Chauncey “C.J.” Gardner-Johnson, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and now made official by the team. The 27-year-old defensive back has a history with Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who had him in New Orleans from 2019 to 2021, and […]
Last week, there was a comment on my Sackwatch article asking why I only break down the sacks the Chicago Bears allow, and not the sacks Chicago’s defense gets. I didn’t see the question until this week, so while I did answer it there, I also wanted to address it here in case anyone else […]
Help is on the way for a battered and bruised Chicago Bears secondary.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, a veteran defensive back with 77 games worth of playing experience under his belt, is reportedly signing with Chicago’s football team. ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter has the scoop:
Bears are signing S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to their active roster after his visit yesterday, per his agents Kevin Conner and Robert Brown of @unisportsmgmt . Gardner-Johnson now reunites with Bears DC Denni...
The Los Angeles Rams reportedly made move to potentially add Tyler Scott to their practice squad. In a week where the Rams placed Tutu Atwell on IR, made a trade for defensive back help and are potentially getting Puka Nacua back on the field, this news for Scott may fall under the radar, but worry […]
Week 8 of the NFL regular season came to a close with 16 Maryland football alumni seeing the field. Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore had a strong game against the Baltimore Ravens. Despite a 30-16 loss to spoil a four game win streak, Moore caught four passes for 73 yards. Highlighted by a reception […]

The Chicago Bears’ winning streak is over. It was fun while it lasted, but now that the team is (4-3) — the same record as a season ago — following the loss to the Baltimore Ravens, are you ready to fall back into ‘oh no, here we go again’ mode? Or are you confident Ben […]

The rookies finally got their second win in the NFL, and it was a big one. After a potential momentum-turner coming out of the bye, they are right back into it — experiencing their first true short week with Miami just ahead on Thursday. First, let’s look into how this past Sunday went. Malaki Starks […]
The 2025 NFL trade deadline is officially less than a week away, with 4 pm New York time on November 4 looming just over the horizon. Ahead of the trade deadline the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly set to add a speedy former third round wide receiver. Velus Jones was selected by the Chicago Bears in […]
The most anticipated player activation in the history of the Chicago Bears has finally happened. Earlier today, the home office of Windy City Gridiron received a fax from second-year defensive end Austin Booker that made his intentions crystal clear. Chills. Okay, it may not have happened like that, but the ongoing discourse in our comment […]
“We going up, up, up, it’s our moment…” Any father of a kindergarten-aged-or-older kid, especially a girl, knows what that means. (Then again, so do most people who don’t live under a rock.) But as the KPop Demon Hunters find out (spoilers if you haven’t seen it!), the path to that final triumphant moment is […]
If you’re fed up with the penalty problems plaguing your favorite football team right now, just know that you are not alone and that Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is right there with you.
When discussing the penalty issues on ESPN 1000-AM, this is what the first-year head coach had to say:
"We're here as coaches, we're gonna help support these guys & be along with them…but it would go a long way if we just had a little bit more ownership in that locker room to take the bull by...
The Steelers are evaluating new safety talent following DeShon Elliott’s injury against the Green Bay Packers. Pittsburgh will be working out veteran safeties Eddie Jackson and Vonn Bell today, head coach Mike Tomlin said in his press conference Tuesday. Jackson was a fourth-round pick in 2017 by the Chicago Bears. He was a first-team All-Pro […]
All of the good vibes Chicago has been riding have dried up. It happens quickly after a loss. This was a frustrating loss because it should have been a game the Bears were competitive in. If they are going to take the next step as an ascending team, there should be signs of growth. But […]
Staying up to watch 18 innings of World Series baseball was a mistake. And I’d do it again.
I think this is just the beginning of us seeing a wave of comparisons between where Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is now and where Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at this time in Year 1 operating in Ben Johnson’s offense:
Caleb Williams is near the point on the Jared Goff/Ben Johnson timeline when Goff's production went thru the roof. That isn't realistic for Williams right now based o...
1. It’s mind-boggling how unserious the NFL can be sometimes. Banning reporters from using All-22 film the NFL offers, that they pay for, to help make fans smarter about the game is simply ridiculous. If you’re that worried that people breaking down film publicly will give away trade secrets or that the film will be […]
Vikings fans, brace for chaos: Carson Wentz’s season-ending IR placement thrusts J.J. McCarthy back into the spotlight, potentially reshaping Minnesota’s 2025 campaign.

Human beings are complicated and pretty much nobody is actually a pure hero or a complete villain. Well, Vlad the Impaler was most likely not the nicest guy on the planet. And Clay Travis is not very redeeming. When it comes to famous athletes, this truth is all the more inconvenient. Our sports heroes are […]
