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. For the Chicago Bears, it was no different. Despite the lack of storylines surrounding the team this offseason, it has felt […]
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. The Bears won that 2012 game, 51 to 20, and it featured 4 forced fumbles from Charles Tillman […]
Is it fair at this point to question Kyler Gordon?
Over the years as a sports fan, I have certainly questioned a player or two about their desire to get back on the football field. But over the years I’ve learned that’s not a good idea. I will admit, I originally questioned Jay Cutler in the moment during the NFC Championship game when we had […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: Which Historical Roster Cut Stung the Most?
Chicago Bears fans are some of the most loyal fans you will ever find. We love our players, and that includes backups, undrafted free agents, practice squad players, and even former players (we miss you, DJ!) But one thing I have noticed about emotions is that the highs are matched by the lows. No better […]
Final Chicago Bears 53-man roster prediction
The Bears’ initial 53-man roster will be announced in just a few days, and trying to project this one is rather difficult. Most of the main positions are mostly settled, but there are several players dealing with injuries, so trying to figure out how the Bears plan to maneuver those players so they can get […]
Devan Kaney: Bears fans’ passion was obvious from the start
The latest Bears Banter has dropped! We are back with a brand new podcast after a lengthy vacation (sorry folks or you’re welcome depending on what you think of the content). And we are joined by the newest member of the Chicago Bears media family: the new Chicago Bears beat reporter for Fox 32, Devan […]
Chicago Bears News: Practice against Tennessee Titans is in the books
The Chicago Bears and the Tennessee Titans faced off at practice in Nashville, and it got chippy. There was good, there was bad, and there was some ugly as well. The Chicago Bears got players back from injury, while Gervon Dexter and Austin Booker were out. Share your thoughts in Windy City Gridiron in the […]
A Chippy Joint Practice Between the Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans
The Chicago Bears held their second joint practice of training camp, closing out the camp season, with the Tennessee Titans Thursday at Vanderbilt Health Football Center, a roughly two-hour, padded session against Robert Saleh’s Titans two days before Saturday’s preseason finale at Nissan Stadium (5 p.m. CT). It was hot, physical, and chippy. From the […]
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. Wednesday’s practice was a light one, as the team took to the sky for a flight down to the Music City, in preparation for today’s joint practice and this […]
Luther Burden III returns as Chicago Bears close Training Camp 2026
There were no fans in attendance at Halas Hall today to watch the Chicago Bears, but today’s light practice officially closes the book on Ben Johnson’s second training camp.

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 […]
Report: Chicago Bears fielding trade calls on DT Gervon Dexter
The Chicago Bears have been involved in trade discussions surrounding defensive tackle, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on Tuesday. Dexter, who turns 25 in October, is currently in the final year of his rookie contract. Schultz previously reported in February that teams were calling on Dexter’s availability around the time of the 2026 NFL Scouting […]
Chicago Bears Roster Moves: Keyshaun Elliott and Elijah Hicks activated off PUP
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 […]
Chicago Bears News: Questions abound as Bears look to finalize the 53-man roster amid injuries
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. […]

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 […]
