Burton is expected to once again test the injury before Sunday’s contest in Denver. “I want to be able to see his feedback on how he feels,” Nagy said. “I know he felt good last week. He felt good, but we just felt collectively [he wasn’t ready to play]. “He’s not going to just tell us...

The Bears only play the Denver Broncos once every four seasons, but the two teams have more in common than you might expect. Here are some examples: • They played in rival leagues at the time, but both teams drafted Dick Butkus in 1965. The Bears selected the Chicago native with the third pick...

There are weeks in a person’s life where everything seems to happen. Maybe it was the week you graduated from college, got engaged and got your first desk job or the time you got a dog, a haircut and a raise in back-to-back-to-back days. Maybe it was a week you spent in Europe and managed...

The nagging groin injury that caused Trey Burton to miss last Thursday night’s season opener against the Packers has frustrated the veteran tight end, but he hopes to play Sunday when the Bears visit the Broncos. “We’re taking it day-by-day,” Burton said Thursday. “I’m hoping by Sunday I’ll be...

Bears receiver Javon Wims was disappointed and confused when his mom picked him up from his first-grade classroom on his 7th birthday and told him that he’d have to wait several days to celebrate. Wims’ 7th birthday was on Sept. 11, 2001—arguably the most horrific day in American history. Four...

The Bears on Wednesday were awarded tight end J.P. Holtz off waivers from the Redskins and waived defensive tackle Abdullah Anderson. Holtz played 14 snaps on special teams last Sunday in Washington’s 32-27 season-opening loss to the Eagles. He was promoted to the active roster for the game...

Two fixable mistakes the offense will work on this week in practice are getting in and out of the huddle quicker and improving communication. Deficiencies in those two areas against the Packers resulted in “everybody not being on the same page,” according to Trubisky. “I think we need to just...

Why was Roy Robertson-Harris not credited with two sacks during Thursday night’s season opener against the Packers? By my count, he should have been credited for one each on the plays that Tom Thayer so ably explained on the website. Roger Vail, Arizona The second sack of Aaron Rodgers that...

Bears veteran Akiem Hicks made the trek down to Chicago’s South Side on Tuesday afternoon to spread a little bit of characteristic optimism. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle visited the SOS Illinois Chicago Village in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood. He came bearing gifts--new backpacks for the...

The money down: The Bears converted just 3-of-15 third-down opportunities versus the Packers, including 1-of-9 on third-down plays requiring at least nine yards. “We lived in that [third-and-long] world,” Nagy said. “That’s a difficult success percentage for an offense. We just want to make...

(2) Receivers coach Mike Furrey believes the key factor in Allen Robinson II's impressive performance in the opener is that the veteran is fully healthy. When Robinson played for the Jaguars in 2017, he tore his ACL in Week 1 and missed the rest of the season. He spent last offseason rehabbing...

The Bears will look to rebound Sunday against a familiar face. Broncos coach Vic Fangio spent four years building the Bears' defense, first under John Fox and continuing under Matt Nagy. His work turned the longtime defensive coordinator into a popular candidate for head-coaching positions...

"It was good," said Pagano of the past few days, "good chance to reset. A lot of hard work went into that opener. Obviously, it didn't end the way we wanted it to, but it's good to be back at work." Pagano, who spent six seasons as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, described feeling a...
