Link to story Bears | Caleb Williams changed shotgun stance Thu May 14, 11:29 AM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was instructed to tweak his shotgun stance and put his left foot forward instead of his right. This was part of head coach Ben Johnson's tweaks during the season.
| Footballguys view: The Bears' quarterback certainly responded to Johnson's coaching. They have the toughest strength of schedule in 2026, but with a year under his belt in Johnson's system, we could see Williams continue to thrive and grow. |
Bears | Kyron Hudson joins roster Mon May 11, 04:30 PM

Link to story Bears | Zavion Thomas signs rookie deal Sat May 9, 01:10 PM
Chicago Bears third round draft choice WR Zavion Thomas signed a four-year contract with the Bears Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Thomas wasn't as highly regarded by draft analysts as he was by Ben Johnson and the Bears. That makes him intriguing in dynasty rookie drafts, along with the possibility that Thomas gets some reps at running back, where he looked natural in limited duty at LSU. |

Link to story Bears | Jordan van den Berg needs to work on attack Sun May 3, 02:28 PM
Chicago Bears DT Jordan van den Berg carries average mass and below-average length into his rookie season. He had elite testing numbers at his Pro Day, though, and the positives are that he possesses disruptive first-step quickness and heavy hands to beat blocks, according to NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. He needs to prove he can take on NFL blockers at the point of attack.
Link to story Bears | Scotty Miller to work out Wed Apr 29, 02:14 PM
Free-agent WR Scotty Miller (Steelers) is scheduled to work out for the Chicago Bears next week.
| Footballguys view: Miller is known for good speed but has had more than 11 receptions in a season only once since his lone big year, a 33-catch second season with Tom Brady at quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers in 2020. Miller, who visited Detroit on Tuesday, has been at the bottom of three teams' rosters or on the practice squad, and there are several backup receivers already on the Bears' 90-man roster who have the advantage of system knowledge. |

Link to story Bears | Coleman Bennett signed Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Kennesaw State RB Coleman Bennett signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent Saturday, April 25, according to a league source.
| Footballguys view: The Bears didn't draft a running back even though D'Andre Swift's contract expires after this season, so we'll be monitoring Bennett to see if he beats out Roschon Johnson, Brittain Brown, and Deion Hankins to make the team as the third running back behind Swift and Kyle Monangai. Bennett is a versatile, efficient back with tackle-breaking ability, but average athleticism and a limited small school pedigree. |
Bears | Chicago has faith in Dayo Odeyingbo, Shemar Turner Sun Apr 26, 05:06 PM
Chicago Bears DEs Dayo Odeyingbo and Shemar Turner were the only edge rushers on the roster prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, and the team did not select any edge rushers in the recently completed draft. Head coach Ben Johnson said Sunday, April 26, that he has faith in Odeyingbo (Achilles) and Turner (knee). Both players suffered season-ending injuries in 2025. The team also has DE Montez Sweat and DL Austin Booker, so the cupboard isn't totally bare.

Link to story Bears | Chicago has need at defensive tackle Sun Apr 19, 05:17 PM
Chicago Bears DTs Gervon Dexter Sr. and Grady Jarrett are really the only veteran defensive tackles on the current roster, so the team figures to look to the 2026 NFL Draft for help in that area. The team didn't address the position in a significant way in the offseason, so many expect the team to pick a player for the middle of the defensive line early in the draft. Multiple players such as University of Florida DT Caleb Banks, Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald, University of Georgia DT Christen Miller and Clemson DT Peter Woods could fit the bill.

Ohio State S Caleb Downs will more than likely be gone by the No. 25 pick, but the Chicago Bears might be able to select Toledo S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren or Oregon S Dillon Thieneman are the spot, should they elect to take a safety in the first round. The team has just three safeties on the current roster, with one starting job to be filled, after losing S Jaquan Brisker and S Kevin Byard in the offseason.

Link to story Bears | CHI won't receive compensation for losing Ian Cunningham Sat Apr 4, 09:36 AM
Former Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham's hiring by the Atlanta Falcons as their new general manager will not result in the National Football league awarding third-round draft selections in two consecutive years to the Bears as compensation, as was the case in several similar situations in recent years. The NFL's stance was that Cunningham will not serve as the Falcons' top decision maker in their front office despite holding the title of general manager; president of football Matt Ryan will outrank Cunningham and everyone else on Atlanta's management team. The Bears attempted to appeal the decision but the matter will not be reversed.
