Maxx Crosby’s Future With the Raiders is Now in Question (HELLO, BEARS!?)

Chicago Bears Injury Report: Luther Burden III Gets an Upgrade

The first installment of the Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s Week 17 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers is here.

Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson: The Quarterback–Coach Partnership Transforming the Bears

If you want to understand why the Chicago Bears feel different today, why their offense has matured week by week, why the franchise finally looks like it has a long-term identity, you start with the relationship between Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson.
