Bears head coach Ben Johnson had a bombshell for us Tuesday, revealing that safety Coby Bryant is going to miss four to six months after having knee surgery. That's much different than the previously reported timeline that he'd be out eight to 10 weeks. Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote react to the news. When did the Bears know this was the actual timeline? And why didn't they get the news out sooner? In other injury news, it sounds like tackle Ozzy Trapilo could return sooner from his knee injury than thought. But exactly how soon is yet to be seen. And receiver Luther Burden is going to miss the preseason but is expected to be back for Week 1 of the regular season. Also in this episode, the guys share their latest observations from practice at Halas Hall.

Da Bears add another injury to the secondary with Coby Bryant set to miss 4-6 months with knee surgery and we talk about the other injuries and news around Halas Hall. With the 2026 set to be the final game between Plano and Sandwich (for now), we break down the football rivalry that dates back to 1897 and learn a couple of new facts that even us "townies" did not know.

Is the Kyler Gordon situation becoming a legitimate problem for the Chicago Bears?On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize dives into a report from 104.3 The Score's Adam Hoge suggesting frustration may be building inside Halas Hall over Gordon's continued absence.Gordon began training camp on the PUP list while dealing with a soft-tissue issue, and Hoge compared the vibe surrounding his extended absence to the frustration that eventually developed around Nate Davis.That doesn't mean a trade is coming—but with Malik Muhammad emerging at nickel and Chicago already dealing with major secondary injuries, Gordon's status is becoming increasingly important.

In the second hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes discussed Bears head coach Ben Johnson's drive and motivation in the job by reacting to a series of notable comments he made in a profile story written by Dan Pompei of The Athletic.

Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote share their observations from the latest Bears training camp practice at Halas Hall.

The Chicago Bears just completed another intense training camp practice, and Day 12 delivered huge performances, encouraging returns and one devastating injury update.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down everything Bears fans need to know from Halas Hall.First up: D'Andre Swift looks like he is already in midseason form. Swift ripped off a 38-yard touchdown run while breaking multiple tackles, and reports described him as explosive throughout practice. If this version of Swift carries over into the regular season, Chicago's rushing attack could become one of the most dangerous elements of Ben Johnson's offense.The Bears also received another major boost with T.J. Edwards finally returning to 11-on-11 team drills after a lengthy rehabilitation process. Edwards immediately made his presence felt by blowing up a Roschon Johnson run for a tackle for loss.And another young defensive back is taking advantage of Chicago's injury situation.Undrafted rookie safety Skyler Thomas recorded his first interception of camp, picking off Tyson Bagent while continuing to receive opportunities created by the injuries throughout the Bears secondary.Then we get to two completely different injury stories.

In the final hour, David Haugh and Ruthie Polinsky discussed the latest Bears news from the weekend and reacted to the best audio coming out of Halas Hall. Later, they shared their favorite moments from the ceremony Saturday at Rate Field in which the White Sox retired franchise icon Ozzie Guillen's jersey.

The Chicago Bears just completed their most physical—and possibly most chaotic—training camp practice yet.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down everything from Day 8 at Halas Hall, where the pads came back on, the intensity reached another level and multiple players left practice with injuries.The biggest concerns involved Braxton Jones and Montez Sweat. Jones exited after battling Austin Booker during one-on-one drills, while Sweat later removed himself after slowing up during an 11-on-11 rep. The encouraging news is that both were able to leave under their own power, and the early indications in these notes suggest neither injury appears significant.But the injuries did not stop there. Dallis Flowers suffered a non-contact right-leg injury, while Gervarrius Owens injured his left leg during special teams, creating even more pressure on an already depleted Bears secondary.

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears offense needed a response—and their franchise quarterback delivered one of his sharpest practices of training camp.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down all the major developments from Day 7 at Halas Hall, beginning with Williams completing 9-of-10 passes during seven-on-seven work following a difficult padded practice one day earlier. The Bears held a lighter, 90-minute session in shells with a heavy red-zone focus before returning to padded work.Williams reportedly threw touchdowns to Kyle Monangai, Colston Loveland, Kaden Davis and Luther Burden III, helping Chicago's offense regain its rhythm. Davis produced the biggest highlight with a diving, one-handed catch in the corner of the end zone—a play some observers called the best catch of Bears training camp.The left-tackle competition may also be moving toward a conclusion. Braxton Jones worked with the first-team offense for a third consecutive practice and continues to receive the largest share of starting reps. Offensive coordinator Press Taylor praised Jones' physicality and communication as he reestablishes himself at full health.Haize also reacts to encouraging injury news as T.J. Edwards returned to practice after being removed from the non-football injury list. Edwards only participated in warmups while ramping up from his calf injury, but reports indicated that he was moving well.Plus, it is time for a full Bears training-camp stock report:

The Chicago Bears offense is already giving the defense problems at training camp—and Caleb Williams may be taking another major step forward.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down all the biggest developments from Day 2 at Halas Hall, beginning with one of Caleb Williams' strongest practices since arriving in Chicago. Williams reportedly played fast, spread the football around, completed well over 70% of his passes and consistently generated chunk plays while operating Ben Johnson's offense with confidence.The biggest play came when Williams connected with veteran receiver Kalif Raymond for a 54-yard touchdown during 11-on-11 work. Raymond was one of the clear winners of practice, showing off his speed, route running and growing chemistry with Chicago's quarterbacks.But Raymond was not the only weapon making noise. Rome Odunze continued to look explosive, Luther Burden III flashed as a route runner and after the catch, and Colston Loveland delivered one of the catches of the day on a diving reception. The Bears may have assembled one of the NFL's deepest and most versatile collections of offensive weapons.Haize also examines the other major training-camp developments:

The Chicago Bears opened training camp with major storylines, and Ryan Poles did not hold back when discussing Kyler Gordon's injury situation. Gordon is starting camp on the PUP list with a calf injury, and Poles made it clear that Gordon will have to earn back trust and dependability once he returns to the field. Ben Johnson's message was simple: “Get healthy.”On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest report day takeaways from Halas Hall, including the encouraging update on T.J. Edwards, who is not expected to miss much time, and the latest on a potential Darnell Wright contract extension after Ryan Poles said Wright is a player the Bears want in Chicago long-term.Haize also dives into Caleb Williams' Year 3 expectations, where Ben Johnson praised his elite arm talent, playmaking, escapability and “Superman cape” ability — while still emphasizing the need for more consistency over a full 60-minute game. Plus, Ben Johnson says the 70% completion goal for Caleb “always will be” the standard.The show also covers the left tackle battle between Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills Jr., Theo Benedet and Kiran Amegadjie, plus the growing excitement around Luther Burden III, who Ryan Poles praised for his offseason growth, passion and drive to become the best receiver he can be.Finally, Haize reacts to Montez Sweat being placed on the non-football illness list and Elijah Hicks landing on PUP, while also reviewing the broader Bears injury picture heading into camp.Topics include: Chicago Bears training camp, Kyler Gordon injury, Ryan Poles, Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright contract extension, Luther Burden III breakout, Montez Sweat NFI list, Elijah Hicks PUP list, T.J.

The Chicago Bears' young core is starting to get national respect, but the NFL still may not be fully buying what Ben Johnson is building in Chicago. On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize reacts to Caleb Williams and Colston Loveland being named among the NFL's top players age 25 and under, while Darnell Wright just missed the list.Caleb Williams came in at No. 7 after setting the Bears single-season passing record, leading an NFL-record seven fourth-quarter comebacks and helping Chicago win the NFC North. Colston Loveland landed at No. 25 after a strong rookie season and a monster finish that has many expecting a superstar leap in 2026.Haize also breaks down why the Bears' offensive trio of Caleb Williams, D'Andre Swift and Colston Loveland being ranked 13th still feels low, and why Chicago's offense has a chip on its shoulder heading into Year 2 under Ben Johnson.Plus, the show dives into five under-the-radar Bears defenders to watch at training camp: Malik Muhammad, D'Marco Jackson, Cam Lewis, Jordan van den Berg and Jack Sanborn.
