Bears Camp Update: Wright exits with arm injury, corners back, van den Berg in with the starters

The Bears wrapped up their final training camp practice at Halas Hall with Wright leaving with a right-arm injury, while Elijah Hicks and Keyshaun Elliott returned from PUP and Jordan van den Berg worked with the starters. Braxton Jones and Theo Benedet rotated into tackle spots as the team evaluated left tackle, Williams and the first-team offense showed a mix of big plays and hiccups (including a red-zone TD to Odunze and a Swift TD), Cairo Santos drilled a 59-yard FG, and Xavier Woods ended practice with an interception. They’ll have a light workout tomorrow before a Titans joint practice Thursday ahead of Saturday’s preseason game.

Caleb Williams’ summer under Ben Johnson’s tough-love plan has him leading with confidence, improved decision-making, and a stronger sense of ownership for Chicago’s offense.

Ben Johnson eyes NFL scoring record with 2026 Bears offense

Bears coach Ben Johnson says he aims to break the NFL single-season points record in 2026, targeting the 2013 Denver Broncos’ 37.9 PPG; to achieve that, Chicago would likely lean toward a more pass-heavy attack with Caleb Williams and rely on weapons like Colston Loveland, D’Andre Swift, Rome Odunze, and Luther Burden after a 2025 season that ranked 9th in points per game.

Caleb Williams Matures in Bears Camp as Loveland Emerges and O-Line Depth Shines

Caleb Williams shows grown‑up command of the Bears’ offense at training camp, with the goal of becoming a steady 70% passer. TE Colston Loveland impresses with work ethic and potential, hinting at more 13‑personnel usage alongside Kmet and Roush. Darnell Wright’s extension coincides with strong play, while left‑tackle battles continue among Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills, and Kiran Amegadjie. On defense, depth at tackle and edge looks promising, but safety is unsettled after Coby Bryant’s injury, forcing contributions from rookies and veterans like Cam Lewis as Devin Bush has looked solid beside TJ Edwards.

Hyppolite Shines as Bears Indoors While Woods Steps In at Safety

Bad weather forced the Bears to practice indoors again, with Ruben Hyppolite drawing multiple praises for his active, disruptive play (even as he had a few coverage mismatches). Xavier Woods started at safety with Cam Lewis out, and Tyrique Stevenson picked off a pass in drills. On offense, Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent connected on several big plays, including long TDs to Kaden Davis and Jahdae Walker, while D’Andre Swift showed strong camp form. Several players were sidelined or limited, and Chicago added another defensive back as the camp continued.

Bears’ End-of-Half Upgrade Gains Momentum Under Ben Johnson

Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson is prioritizing a sharper end-of-half, two-minute offense after last season's struggles, using training-camp drills that produced an 8-play, 61-yard touchdown drive led by Caleb Williams (6-for-7, 55 yards) with a key Loveland catch. Johnson says there are concrete ideas to improve end-of-half execution to steal possessions and carry momentum into halftime, addressing a historical gap where the team excelled late but lagged before halftime.
