Overview
- Chicago traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Browns for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-rounder, then placed Dayo Odeyingbo on injured reserve with a torn Achilles.
- Poles said the Bears explored numerous edge options, including the Jets’ Jermaine Johnson II, but declined to meet New York’s reported asking price of a second-round pick.
- Tryon-Shoyinka is expected to be available Sunday against the Giants after limited defensive snaps in Cleveland and 15 career sacks over four seasons with Tampa Bay.
- Second-year rusher Austin Booker returned from a knee injury with a strip sack in Cincinnati and is set for an expanded role, according to team leaders.
- Blockbuster trades involving Jets stars Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams reset market expectations, reinforcing Chicago’s decision to preserve higher draft capital.
