Overview

• Chicago’s first-team pass rush, led by Montez Sweat, Dayo Odeynigbo and Grady Jarrett, has routinely applied pressure in live and red-zone drills, even shutting down the offense in a two-minute scenario.
• Backup players including Tanoh Kpassagnon and rookie Ruben Hyppolyte II have made notable plays in practice, reflecting Dennis Allen’s next-man-up philosophy.
• The competition for the No. 2 cornerback role remains undecided, with Tyrique Stevenson, Nick McCloud and Nashon Wright each earning significant first-team reps.
• Quarterback Caleb Williams reports feeling “pretty solid” in Ben Johnson’s terminology-heavy system and has shown improved pre-snap process, footwork and ball protection.
• Colston Loveland has returned with his shoulder “feeling great” and earned praise for his instincts, while Luther Burden III is gradually integrated after a soft-tissue injury and has already made a red-zone touchdown catch.
