Overview
- Training camp opens in late July and will begin key competitions at center and left tackle after Drew Dalman retired and Ozzy Trapilo suffered a season-ending patellar tendon injury.
- Garrett Bradbury and rookie Logan Jones are the leading candidates to replace Dalman at center while Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills Jr. and Theo Benedet will vie for the left tackle job.
- Right tackle Darnell Wright, coming off second-team All-Pro honors and a season in which he allowed three sacks across 1,074 snaps, is in a contract year with the Bears expected to negotiate a long-term extension before the regular season.
- Caleb Williams enters Year 2 under offensive boss Ben Johnson with rising expectations and the passing game will depend on whether Rome Odunze or Luther Burden III emerges as the clear WR1 after DJ Moore's departure.
- The Bears kept their top rushing duo of D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai intact, leaving the team to rely on last season's top-three ground attack while camp will reveal whether the offensive line continuity can be preserved.
