The Chicago Bears are heading into training camp with bigger expectations than they have had in years. After an 11-6 season, an NFC North title and their first playoff win since 2010, Ben Johnson’s team now has to prove it can take another step in 2026. 🐻🔥

On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest Bears training camp battles that could shape the season. Who wins the starting left tackle job between Braxton Jones, Theo Benedet and Jedrick Wills Jr. with Ozzy Trapilo expected to miss most of the season? Can Garrett Bradbury hold off rookie Logan Jones at center after Drew Dalman’s retirement? Is Tyrique Stevenson still the favorite at CB2, or can rookie Malik Muhammad force his way into a major role — especially with Kyler Gordon’s health still a concern?

Plus, the wide receiver room may be one of the most exciting battles on the team. Can Rome Odunze lock in as WR1, or will Luther Burden III push him sooner than expected? Who wins WR3 between Kalif Raymond and rookie speedster Zavion Thomas? And can Jahdae Walker and Scotty Miller secure their spots?

Training camp is where hype turns into proof — and the Bears have major decisions coming.
