Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears today announced the launch of Bearigami – an interactive iteration of a cultural phenomenon dedicated to the Chicago Bears and the history of the storied franchise, spanning over a century. A first-ever NFL franchise-created digital product, Bearigami presents Chicago Bears fans with a one-of-a-kind platform to explore how each game, season and era added to the franchise's history.

Former Bears fullback Matt Suhey, a key member of the famed 1985 Super Bowl XX championship team, passed away Sunday at the age of 68. A 1980 second-round draft pick from Penn State, Suhey spent his entire 10-year NFL career with the Bears.

Bears players have chosen five season-long captains: quarterback Caleb Williams and left guard Joe Thuney on offense; defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and linebacker T.J. Edwards on defense; and kicker Cairo Santos on special teams. "Huge recognition for those guys voted by their peers, and a lot of responsibility comes with that," said coach Ben Johnson. "Obviously, they represent the locker room to the coaches, but also to the fan base as well.

When left tackle Braxton Jones became an unrestricted free agent this year for the first time, he was motivated to re-sign with the Bears so he could compete for his old starting job. On Tuesday, coach Ben Johnson revealed that Jones will, in fact, open Sunday's season opener against the Panthers. That declaration means that Jones will have started all five Week 1 games since his arrival in 2022 as a fifth-round draft pick from Southern Utah.

Bears rookies Dillon Thieneman and Sam Roush will both fulfill a lifelong dream Sunday in Charlotte when they play in their first NFL regular-season game. Thieneman, a safety out of Oregon, was selected in the first round of the draft, while Roush, a tight end from Stanford, was chosen in the third round. "Over the weekend, it's kind of hit me," Thieneman said Monday after practice. "Going through the preseason, then make the official roster.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and receiver Kalif Raymond showed their cohesiveness in Thursday's padded practice, teaming up to produce an impact play that required perfect timing. Williams rainbowed a deep pass across the field to Raymond, who caught the ball in stride and hung onto it with safeties Dillon Thieneman and Xavier Woods draped on his back. "The good thing is we just did it in 'routes on air,'" Raymond said.

The Chicago Bears are now accepting applications for the 2026 Community All-Pros, a $107,000 grant supporting a nonprofit organization making a meaningful difference across Chicagoland communities. The annual Community All-Pros program recognizes organizations whose work aligns with the Chicago Bears' four impact pillars: health equity, economic advancement, education and community safety.

Cornerback Clark Phillips III was thrilled when his agent called to inform him Sunday that he was being traded to the Bears. The four-year NFL veteran was acquired from the Falcons along with a 2027 fifth-round draft pick in exchange for defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. Asked about his initial reaction to the deal, Phillips said: "Honestly, excitement. Was excited to get in a new building with new guys and learn a new regime, new scheme.

With the season opener in Carolina looming a week from Sunday, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen on Wednesday expressed faith in the Bears' revamped defensive line. "I feel really confident with who we have on the defensive line," Allen said. "The style that we want to play, I think we've got guys that can do the things that we want to do. I felt like all along that was probably our deepest position group.
