10 Bears Takes: Breakout Candidates, Patience for the Rookies, Kyler Gordon, and more
Somehow, the 2026 version of training camp and the preseason are officially in the rearview mirror for all 32 teams in the NFL.

Chicago Bears Roster Moves: Coby Bryant to IR, Jack Sanborn signed
A couple of days after setting their initial 53-man roster, the Chicago Bears have officially shuffled a few things around.

Zavion Thomas is already beating the Velus Jones allegations for Bears
Chicago Bears third-round pick Zavion Thomas did something significant in my mind in Saturday’s preseason win over the Tennessee Titans. I mean, aside from leaving a poor defensive back’s ankles at the 15-yard line and walking away from an angle down the sideline for a 97-yard touchdown in his preseason debut. Or from putting up […]

There had been rumors for months, largely fanned by Fox’s Jordan Schultz, that the Chicago Bears were looking to move Gervon Dexter. Over the weekend, those rumors materialized as there were reports that Dexter was on the move and headed to the Atlanta Falcons. The trade makes some sense. Dexter’s in the last year of […]
Three things the Gervon Dexter trade tells you about Ryan Poles and the Bears
You know what they say: turn your weaknesses into bigger weaknesses. Well, I’ve never heard that, but that’s what the Chicago Bears are ostensibly doing after trading starting defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. to the Atlanta Falcons for Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pick.

The Bears closed out their 2026 preseason on a high note, heading to Tennessee and defeating the Titans in a 24-15 matchup.

Bears close preseason with a nearly flawless performance by Tyson Bagent
The NFL’s 2026 preseason slate is finally complete as the Chicago Bears outscored the Tennessee Titans 24 to 15. But most importantly for Chicago, they escaped without any significant injuries.

Did you realize that the Chicago Bears and the Tennessee Titans play in the final preseason game of 2026?

Play Fantasy Sports with Windy City Gridiron!
With just two weeks to go until the regular season, the Chicago Bears appear to be a very offensive-loaded football team. A 2025 defense that gave up the fourth-most yards per game and fifth-most passing touchdowns per game parted ways with three main starters (among other key players) in the offseason, and the Bears still […]

We’ll know how off (or on) I am with my Chicago Bears 53 Man Roster Prediction on Sunday at 5:00 pn (CT), but I had to take a crack at this. Plus, my prediction features a trade! A few of my WCG colleagues also made their best guess at Chicago’s 53, so let me know […]
Ben Johnson is ‘the most influential person that I’ve been around’
Declan Doyle was the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL last season under Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson, and the Bears let him make the lateral move to the Baltimore Ravens so he’d get an opportunity to call plays. This year, he’s still the youngest play caller in the NFL (now 30), and he […]
Aaron Leming’s Final Chicago Bears 53-Man Roster Projection
In the blink of an eye, the 2026 NFL preseason is over. It’s always amazing to watch the buildup to training camp and how quickly things start to move once all 32 teams report.

Bears Preseason: Could a big game by Jamree Kromah secure a roster spot?
The Chicago Bears’ offseason has seen several players raise their stock. None more so than sixth-round draft pick Jordan van den Berg, who went from a fun athletic day-three prospect to getting reps with the starters. At this point, van den Berg’s roster spot is a lock, but there’s another defensive lineman who made a […]
Bears vs Titans Preseason: How to watch, start time, odds, and more
The Chicago Bears wrap up their 2026 preseason slate against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, and every time the Bears and Titans play, I think of one thing: When Bears fans drank all the beer in Nashville.
