The Chicago Bears are an offensive-dominated team with head coach Ben Johnson at the helm, but is the defensive line a sleeping giant for defensive coordinator Dennis Allen? Allen spoke today at Halas Hall and called it one of the team’s deepest position groups. Have we not been giving the D-Line enough credit to this point? Later, we dive into a piece from Mike Sando, where he polled anonymous NFC executives and asked them to predict the NFC standings. Where did the Bears land in those predictions? WE also get important practice updates, including Kyle Monangai resuming running. Join Adam Hoge and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When the Chicago Bears signed CB Kyler Gordon to a 3-year, $40M extension in 2025, they made him the highest-paid slot corner in the NFL. In the nearly 1.5 years since then, the talented corner’s situation has grown increasingly murky. With no clear indication what the issues are, Bears GM Ryan Poles was asked what his situation is with Poles saying he still has hope that Kyler will return this season. Is his future as a Chicago Bear in doubt? We address the unusual situation. Later, we hear from head coach Ben Johnson as the team prepares for Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. We also update some roster maneuverings including Safety Coby Bryant being placed on IR. Join Adam Hoge and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
