Chicago Bears Injury Updates: Austin Booker is week-to-week
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson met the media earlier today before their joint practice with the Tennessee Titans, and he provided a few injury updates. Defensive end Austin Booker has missed the last few days, and per Johnson, he’s dealing with a groin issue and is week-to-week. Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., who was […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: Are you okay with them having an offense-first identity?
This isn’t the first time, but it sure feels more real. The 2026 Chicago Bears will be a team that showcases a potent offense and a middling (or worse) defense. If you’re older than 5 years old, you’re probably used to the star players on the Bears being named Mack, Peppers, Tillman, Urlacher, Singletary, Dent, […]
Chicago Bears News: Darnell Wright and Luther Burden III return welcomed by all
The day before the Chicago Bears hold a joint practice in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans, both Darnell Wright and Luther Burden III returned to practice.

Ben Johnson Says the Bears Are Writing a ‘New Chapter’ in 2026
The Chicago Bears wrapped up their final training camp practice open to fans on Tuesday, with head coach Ben Johnson meeting with the media ahead of the team’s final stretch of preparation for the 2026 NFL season. When asked about some of the biggest differences between this year’s team and last season’s group, Johnson initially […]
The Chicago Bears’ left tackle battle may have gotten a little weirder
If there’s one thing we don’t love about the Chicago Bears’ offensive roster heading into 2026, it’s the left tackle position. We wouldn’t have said that, most likely, had Ozzy Trapilo not ruptured his patellar tendon in the Bears’ Wildcard win over the Green Bay Packers. And we might not have to say it much […]
Chicago Bears News: Bears wrap up training camp with hard practice
The Chicago Bears have had a rugged, injury filled training camp this year, but like all things, it too has come to an end. The Chicago Bears wrapped up training camp at Halas hall, and prepare to head to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in a joint practice on Thursday. There was good […]
Bears Camp Report: Darnell Wright injured, Corners return, Jordan van den Berg with the ones, and more
The Chicago Bears held their final training camp practice in front of the fans today at Halas Hall, and before they got into a red zone period, cornerback Jaylon Johnson brought the team together for a meeting with the message that the practice wasn’t good enough. The message was heard as tight end Cole Kmet […]

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears activated rookie linebacker Keyshaun Elliott and safety Elijah Hicks off the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Elliott had been sidelined with a back issue, while Hicks was out waiting for his shin to heal. The Bears still have three players on the PUP list: Nickelback Kyler Gordon, linebacker Noah […]
Chicago Bears New Rivalry Jerseys Revealed
For the one of the leagues founding franchises with it’s history rooted before most people on this planet were ever born, the Chicago Bears have had a plethora of jersey combinations over the years. Helmets, too, have evolved much over the last 100+ years. Heck, when the Bears first started, protective headgear was optional. What […]
Five Bears Takes Following Their Preseason Week 2 Game In Cincinnati
On Saturday evening, the Chicago Bears hosted the Cincinnati Bengals in one of those preseason contests that everyone struggles to get through. Despite the starters getting time in the first quarter, there wasn’t much to write home about, which can be both good and bad. With one more game remaining in the preseason and roster […]

The Chicago Bears players took a much needed day off while a day-long staff meeting at Halas Hall presumably dealt with the state of the roster, working towards the 53-man roster and practice squad candidates The Bears return to practice today ahead of their travel to Nashville for a Thursday joint practice with the Titans. […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country. The Chicago Bears have one more preseason game this Saturday against the Tennessee Titans, and then it’s full steam ahead toward the Carolina Panthers and Week […]

We’re two preseason games into the three-game 2026 preseason, and the Chicago Bears are inching closer towards the final decisions that go into making the 53-man roster. Players currently on the 90-man squad have one last game to stake their claim on a spot on the active roster. Considering most of the spots on the […]
Building Glass Houses: Chicago’s Fragile Defensive Line
By and large, teams will build their starting rosters and their meaningful depth out of the first three rounds of the draft. The rate of investment league-wide in “defensive linemen” (here including edge-rushers of both types, defensive ends of various styles, and all defensive tackles) is going to hover around 24 of these “premium” picks […]
Chicago Bears News: Jordan van den Berg had himself a day; Others? Not so much
Two of the three preseason games are in the book, with one week left of camp, one joint practice and one more live test to come this week in Nashville against the Titans Preseason wins and losses are absolutely meaningless, but how well your team plays (regardless of the score) isn’t. In Cincy on Saturday, […]
Bear & Balanced: Did you take any positives from the Bears’ loss?
The Chicago Bears didn’t look good in their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last night. It was about as bad as this team has looked in the Ben Johnson era, and even though it was a preseason game, it was the only time a Johnson-coached Bears team failed to score a touchdown. Eleven penalties, inaccurate […]
5 Bears who helped their roster chances the most against the Bengals
The preseason isn’t about wins and losses; it’s all about roster battles, and the Chicago Bears have several intriguing ones that are playing out. After the Bears vs Cincinnati Bengals game ended, I asked our team this question. Who helped their 53-Man roster chances the most in this game? And here’s what we had to […]
Bears vs Bengals: Inside the snap counts, stats, and a sloppy loss
The Chicago Bears looked crisp and disciplined last week in their preseason win against the Cleveland Browns, but yesterday against the Cincinnati Bengals, they looked like a different team. The Bengals rolled to a 27-9 win, as the Bears failed to get anything going. They were just 2 of 14 (14.3%) on third downs and […]
Bears can’t get the offense going; drop preseason game 2 to the Bengals
For the first time in the Ben Johnson era, the Chicago Bears lost a preseason game. The Cincinnati Bengals won handily, 27 to 9, and I have a feeling the film session with Johnson will not be fun. Considering the Bears began the game with most of their starters while the Bengals played their twos, […]
Chicago Bears vs. Cincinnati Bengals Preseason Game Discussion
It’s preseason week two for the Chicago Bears and the Cincinnati Bengals! When these two teams last met in the regular season, the Bears won in a wild 47- 42 game featuring an incredible Caleb Williams-to-Colston Loveland touchdown. The stakes won’t be quite as high tonight, so let’s hope they get in and out with […]
Caleb Williams on his command, team chemistry, making Ben Johnson right, and more
NFL Network’s Stacey Dales, who will be on the call for today’s Chicago Bears vs Cincinnati Bengals preseason game, caught up with Bears quarterback Caleb Williams yesterday and shared an interview on her socials.

Bears fans can’t get enough of Jordan van den Berg
You wouldn’t know it by the photogs taking pictures for Getty and USA Today, the two outlets we get our pics from, but Chicago Bears fans can’t get enough of rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg. Then again, maybe their photographers assigned to Bears gams and practices aren’t Bears fans. Regardless, these photographers need […]
