🐻🔥 Bears-Packers week just got a LOT more interesting. The Chicago Bears opened the week with a concerning injury report. Caleb Williams, D’Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Darnell Wright were all listed as non-participants Wednesday.

And the defens...

The Chicago Bears are 3-1, and Ben Johnson may have built something far nastier than just a modern passing offense.

Through three games, Odeyingbo has already generated 11 pressures and two sacks , one more pressure than he produced across eight games last season. The biggest difference may be where Dennis Allen is using him. Dayo has already logged 48 interior snaps and 58...

The Chicago Bears are 2-1, national expectations are rising, and some major roster questions are already beginning to take shape. First, Cole Kmet’s role has changed dramatically. Through three games, Colston Loveland has played 84.2% of Chicago’s offensive snaps , compared with 62% for Kmet , while Kmet has just two receptions for 35 yards and one touchdown and has gone without a catch in each of...

The Chicago Bears are 2-1 and heading into a fascinating Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets — but this game may be decided as much by coaching and personnel usage as it is by talent.

Burden just posted his best game of the season against Philadelphia with seven catches, 61 yard...

The Chicago Bears are 2-1 after dominating the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7 on Monday Night Football — but the biggest story may be what Chicago learned while Caleb Williams was sidelined.

The Chicago Bears defense may be changing faster than anybody expected — and Monday Night Football against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles is about to show us which changes are real.

Through two games, Hurts has thr...

That means Caleb is expected to miss Monday Night Football against the P...

The Chicago Bears head into Monday Night Football shorthanded — but are the 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles really as unbeatable as their reputation suggests? Philadelphia has won its first two games by a combined six points , beating Washington 24-22 before needing a late touchdown drive to escape Tennessee 24-20. That deserves respect — good teams know how to survive close games — but it also means the...

The Chicago Bears are dealing with much bigger questions than just a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Caleb Williams suffered a right hamstring injury late in Sunday’s game and is scheduled to undergo imaging Monday. Ben Johnson confirmed the hamstring diagnosis and said the Bears should know much more after the testing. There has been reported optimism that the injury may not be severe, potenti...

The Chicago Bears suffered a brutal 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, but the biggest concern coming out of Soldier Field is the health of Caleb Williams.

The NFC North just opened up for the Chicago Bears. Detroit fell to Buffalo 41-31 , dropping the Lions to 1-1, while Chicago and Minnesota remain 1-0.

But there’s a major storyline up front: Darnell Wright missed Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury...

The Chicago Bears are getting plenty of national respect after their 59-point Week 1 explosion — but the first Week 2 injury report gives fans something new to watch.

That comes during a...

Caleb Williams and the Bears’ weapons get the headlines, but Chicago’s offensive line may be the real reason this offense has elite potential.

Haize also debates whether Ben Johnson’s fourth-down aggression can cross the line into recklessness...
