Link to story Bears | Caleb Williams was pressured in 2025 Tue Jan 20, 12:08 AM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was hurried a league-leading 94 times during the 2025 regular season and also led the league by being blitzed 174 times during the season.
| Footballguys view: The Bears experienced a significant turnaround in Ben Johnson's first season as coach. They went from five wins in 2024 to 11 in 2025 en route to the NFC North title. The Bears won their first playoff game in 15 seasons when they beat the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round on Jan. 10. Williams was a big part of it, but there are areas in which both the QB and his team must improve. In particular, Williams said he plans to address his accuracy and footwork during the offseason. We'll be following his progress all offseason. |
Bears | Colston Loveland concussed Mon Jan 19, 11:45 AM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland (concussion) left the game Sunday, Jan. 18, with a concussion and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Concussion aside, Loveland's rookie season was a success. After not surpassing 40 yards in the first six games, Loveland had 40 or more yards in 9-of-12 games the rest of the way. That included 118 yards and a winning touchdown in a wild win over the Bengals, then 94 and 91 yards in the last two games of the regular season. In addition, no rookie tight end had ever had more receiving yards in a single postseason than Loveland's 193 -- and that's in just two games. He'll be one of Caleb Williams' favorite targets for years to come. |

Chicago Bears S Jaquan Brisker is expected to have an 'outside market' that 'prices him out of Chicago,' in the opinion of Dan Graziano.
Link to story Bears | Chicago poised to move on from DJ Moore? Mon Jan 19, 12:07 AM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore is likely to be traded during the offseason, in the opinion of ESPN's Ben Solak, who notes that Moore has little bonus money left, allowing the team to move on from him even though he still has four years remaining on his deal. Solak adds that the team is set at the position with WRs Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, and that Moore will have a market.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com's Khari Thompson suggested, Moore hasn't consistently been the difference-maker he's being paid to be. And if he's going to give the ball away in important moments -- and many observers contend Moore stopped running on a route that allowed Kam Curl to make an easy pick that led to the Rams' OT win in last night's Divisional Playoff loss, he might have to go. Trading him feels like a distinct possibility this offseason. |

Bears | Chicago bounced from playoffs in overtime Sun Jan 18, 10:01 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 23 of his 42 passes for 257 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. He added 40 rushing yards on five carries. RB D'Andre Swift rushed 19 times for 76 yards, and RB Kyle Monangai chipped in 36 rushing yards on 13 carries and caught four passes for 36 yards. TE Colston Loveland caught four passes for a team-high 56 yards, and WR DJ Moore had 52 receiving yards and a touchdown on a team-high five catches. WR Rome Odunze gained 44 receiving yards on two receptions, WR Luther Burden III added three catches for 24 yards, and TE Cole Kmet finished with three grabs for 31 yards and a game-tying touchdown that forced overtime. S Jaquan Brisker led the way on defense with a team-high 14 tackles, including eight solo stops, a sack and two passes defensed. CB Kyler Gordon, DE Montez Sweat and DE Dominique Robinson all recorded a sack in the loss.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin wrote, "They were the Cardiac Bears until the very end." After facing a seven-point deficit late in the game, Williams squeezed one more drop of fourth-quarter magic when he found Kmet in the corner of the north end zone at Soldier Field for a 14-yard touchdown to force the extra period. The Bears failed to score after their sole possession of overtime ended with Williams throwing an interception, his third of the game. Nonetheless, Ben Johnson's first year with the Bears was a resounding success despite Chicago falling short of reaching the title game as the NFC's No. 2 seed. The Bears finished with 11 wins in the regular season and their first playoff win in 15 years when they beat the Packers in the wild-card round. |

Bears | DJ Moore on track to play Fri Jan 16, 02:34 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 16, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Moore has had some big games this year, but his production has been sporadic. He'll get the occasional gadgety play, and those might be more abundant this week, given the expected inclement weather. Moore will likely fall behind Colston Loveland and Luther Burden in total targets, but he's got a chance to find the end zone. |

Bears | Rome Odunze listed as questionable Fri Jan 16, 02:32 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 16, but is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Odunze has played through a pained fracture in his foot for the better part of this season. He gutted it out last week, and he's expected to give it a go again this week. However, considering his production since the injury, it's really hard to trust him outside of desperate scenarios. |
Bears | Luther Burden III found his groove Thu Jan 15, 09:43 PM

Link to story Bears | Colston Loveland closed year on high note Thu Jan 15, 08:30 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland's 597 receiving yards from Week 9 onward were the second most among all tight ends, trailing only Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride.
| Footballguys view: Loveland had a strong finish to his rookie year. He's one of the best young tight ends in the game, and his play has helped the Bears win a ton of games. We're excited for him in the rest of the playoffs and in 2026's regular season. Loveland should be considered a TE1 for Fantasy GMs in the summer. |

Bears | Colston Loveland makes franchise history Sun Jan 11, 06:32 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland racked up eight receptions, 137 yards and 15 targets in the NFC Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, Jan. 10, setting new franchise highs in a postseason victory.
| Footballguys view: Loveland already had a breakout game of sorts, although it was against the Bengals. This one was higher profile, and could push him into the top five at his position in fantasy drafts. |
Bears | Ozzy Trapilo finished for postseason Sun Jan 11, 09:37 AM
Chicago Bears OT Ozzy Trapilo (knee) will miss the remainder of the postseason after sustaining a patellar injury during the team's Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Theo Benedet, who impressed Tyreek Hill with his speed running a route 30 yards downfield split out wide Saturday night, replaced Trapilo and should start against the Rams. Braxton Jones has had his return from injured reserve practice window opened, but it's unknown if he'll be available to back up Benedet. |
Bears | T.J. Edwards has fractured fibula Sun Jan 11, 09:14 AM
Chicago Bears LB T.J. Edwards (fibula) will miss the remainder of the postseason due to a fractured fibula, according to head coach Ben Johnson. He sustained the injury during the second quarter of the team's Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers and needed to be helped off the field before being taken into the locker room on a cart.
| Footballguys view: The Bears will have to find a way to slow down the Rams offense without one of their best linebackers. Fortunately (or unfortunately), backup D'Marco Jackson has started four games this season, and he played most of the game Saturday night. The Rams balance on offense will test Jackson and the rest of this inconsistent defense. |
