Bears' D'Andre Swift: Having standout camp
Swift has been one of the brightest stars of training camp for the Bears, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Swift broke off a 62-yard touchdown in Tuesday's practice and also trucked a defender on a run to the outside. "I'm excited for him," Caleb Williams said Tuesday. "Selfishly, he helps everybody on that field when he can go and be the special back that he is, whether it's passing or short yardage and running downhill. I'm excited for him, I think he's going to have a great year." Swift rushed for a career-high 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns on 223 carries (4.9 YPC) across 16 regular-season games last season and should head into 2026 as the clear lead back in Chicago ahead of Kyle Monangai. The scoring upside of the Chicago offense has Swift on the fantasy RB2 map.

Bears' Kyron Hudson: Lands on injured reserve
Hudson (undisclosed) reverted to the Bears' injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hudson was waived with an injury designation Monday, but he's reverted to the team's IR after going unclaimed. As a result, he'll be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Chicago.

Bears' Jahdae Walker: Listed as second-string WR
Walker was listed as a second-string wide receiver on the Bears' first unofficial depth chart that was released Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Walker saw limited action for most of his rookie season and did not play in either of the Bears' two playoff games, though he did log six catches (on 10 targets) for 87 yards and two touchdowns across Chicago's final three regular-season games. He entered training camp competing against Kalif Raymond and rookie Zavion Thomas (knee) for the WR3 role. However, Walker will have the chance to earn a more consistent role for himself on offense over the next few weeks, as Luther Burden will miss all three of the Bears' preseason games due to a groin injury.

Bears' Luther Burden: Coach optimistic for Week 1 availability
Coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday that Burden (groin) is going to "hopefully" be ready by the start of the season, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Burden is already expected to sit out all three of the Bears' preseason games, but the hope is that the wideout will be available for the team's Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Panthers. In any case, based on the wording of Johnson's comments Tuesday, Burden isn't necessarily a lock to be ready for Week 1 action.

Bears' Coby Bryant: Out for 4-6 months after knee surgery
Bryant (knee) had surgery Friday and will be out for 4-to-6 months, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Chicago's prized offseason signing on defense now seems more likely than not to miss the entire regular season. The Bears reportedly have some hope that Bryant can return for Week 18 or the playoffs, but it's not something the team can count on as they prepare for the campaign ahead. With Bryant unavailable, Xavier Woods and Cam Lewis (leg) are the top candidates to step up at safety alongside first-round pick Dillon Thieneman.

Bears' Caleb Williams: Set to operate without Burden
Williams will be without Luther Burden (groin) for the entirety of the preseason, but the Bears believe that the second-year wide receiver will be available for Week 1 at Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 13, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Williams is entering his second season under head coach Ben Johnson and his third NFL campaign overall, and his No. 2 option at wide receiver Luther Burden just suffered a groin injury Saturday that will sideline him for the entirety of the preseason. The quarterback completed 53 passes to Burden for 718 yards and two touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests and two postseason games this past season. Williams has substantial rapport with WR1 Rome Odunze, but he will now have to lean on offseason addition Kalif Raymond, third-round pick Zavion Thomas (knee) and second-year pro Jahdae Walker at practice in Burden's absence.

Bears' Ray-Ray McCloud: Signs with Chicago
The Bears signed McCloud to a contract Monday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
With Luther Burden (groin) and Zavion Thomas (knee) both sidelined, McCloud was signed as an additional depth piece at wide receiver. Wide receiver Kyron Hudson (undisclosed) was waived/injured in a corresponding move. McCloud will likely have to beat out fellow veteran Scotty Miller for the No. 6 receiver role in order to garner a spot on the 53-man roster.

Bears' Zavion Thomas: Avoids major injury
Thomas is dealing with knee soreness but isn't expected to miss much time, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Thomas left Sunday's practice early with a knee injury and is day-to-day as he recovers from the issue. The wide receiver has been thrust into a more relevant role for at least the preseason after Luther Burden (groin) left Saturday's practice with a significant injury. The faster Thomas can return to the field, the more time he has to convince the coaching staff he deserves an increase in regular-season reps and targets alongside his kick-return duties.

Bears' Luther Burden: Set to miss preseason, should play Week 1
Burden (groin) is expected to sit out all three of the Bears' preseason games, but the team believes the wideout will be available for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Burden sustained a groin injury during a 1-on-1 drill in Saturday's practice and will need around a month to make a full recovery, but the Bears are optimistic that he'll be able to get enough on-field work in prior to Week 1 to avoid missing any games that count. While the 2025 second-round pick is out for the rest of training camp and the preseason, the Bears will have added reps available at receiver behind Rome Odunze and Kalif Raymond. Zavion Thomas, Jahdae Walkerand Scotty Miller are all candidates to see extra opportunities in the next few weeks as they compete for roster spots as depth options in Chicago's wideout corps. When healthy, Burden will have an opportunity to make a mark from a fantasy perspective in 2026, while operating as a key target for quarterback Caleb Williams in a Chicago passing attack that will also feature Odunze and tight end Colston Loveland.

Bears' Luther Burden: Expected to miss one month
Burden (groin) is expected to be sidelined for roughly one month, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Burden suffered a groin injury at practice Saturday, and he is now set to be unavailable for the entirety of the preseason. The hope from the organization is that the wide receiver will be back and available for the Bears' regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Chargers. If Burden is forced to miss any regular-season action, offseason addition Kalif Raymond and third-round pick Zavion Thomas (undisclosed) would stand to see an increase in targets while operating opposite of No. 1 wideout Rome Odunze in Chicago's offense.

Bears' KC Eziomume: Bound to IR
Eziomume (undisclosed) reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Eziomume was waived/injured by the Bears on Saturday and went unclaimed. The cornerback will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Bears' Gervarrius Owens: Reverts to IR
Owens (undisclosed) reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Owens was waived/injured by the Bears on Saturday and went unclaimed. The safety will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Bears' Beanie Bishop: Signs with Chicago
The Bears signed Bishop (suspension) to a contract Sunday.
Bishop finds a new home with the Bears shortly after being waived by the Saints in late July. The cornerback is set to miss the first three games of the 2026 regular season for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy back in March. Bishop's suspension does not prohibit him from practicing or playing during the preseason, so he may see some action due to the injuries to Coby Bryant (knee), Cam Lewis (leg), Elijah Hicks (shin), Kyler Gordon (calf) and Terell Smith (knee).

Bears' Zavion Thomas: Exits practice early
Thomas (undisclosed) exited Sunday's practice early after a 7-on-7 collision, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
While it has not been disclosed what type of injury Thomas suffered, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports that the wide receiver briefly grabbed his knee before limping off the field. The rookie third-rounder was set to start the regular season as the primary kick returner for the Bears, so any long-term knee issue wouldn't be great for the team's versatility. If Thomas must miss time, Jahdae Walker could see an increase in usage, continuing the momentum he built near the end of his rookie season.

Bears' Cam Lewis: Avoids serious injury
Lewis (leg) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Lewis was carted off the field Saturday with a leg issue, but Coach Dennis Allen said the cornerback's injury is not likely to sideline him for too long. This means Lewis probably avoided a severe injury and will just need to rehab whatever part of his leg is causing the issue.
