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.

Bears lock in Wright with record-setting extension for RT

The Chicago Bears signed right tackle Darnell Wright to a four-year extension worth $116 million with $93 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid RT in NFL history. Wright, 24, has progressed steadily since being drafted No. 10 in 2023 and earned second-team All-Pro last season; the deal, which keeps him under contract through 2031, follows the Bears’ strong OL improvement from 2024 to 2025.

Bradbury Trade Sets Stage for Big Wright Extension in Chicago

The Bears’ acquisition of center Garrett Bradbury from New England signals a major push to extend right tackle Darnell Wright. With cap space boosted by recent moves (Edmunds release, Moore trade, Dalman retirement) to about $33 million and Bradbury costing around $4.7 million next season (leaving roughly $29 million), Chicago is positioned to pursue a four-year, roughly $92 million deal for Wright (about $22–24 million per year). Wright has been a durable, cornerstone player and earned Second-Team All-Pro in 2025, making an extended deal a logical next step for the Bears’ offensive-line plans.

Chicago Bears' Darnell Wright Shines in Prime Time Victory

Despite a tough game for the Chicago Bears passing game against the Los Angeles Chargers, rookie offensive lineman Darnell Wright stood out by handling one-on-one blocking situations against top defenders Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack. He gave up only two pressures and no hits or sacks on quarterback Tyson Bagent. Despite being a work in progress, Wright's talent and grit were evident, and he looks like a strong pick for the Bears. The challenge now is for the team to find more players like him to build a successful era.

"Bears Rookie's Hilarious Mistake Turns into Impressive Advantage"

Chicago Bears rookie offensive tackle Darnell Wright impressed general manager Ryan Poles by excelling in his conditioning test, but it was revealed that a misunderstanding led him to train even harder than intended. Wright mistakenly followed the wide receivers' workout instructions, resulting in him performing more distance in less time. Despite the rookie mistake, Wright's dedication to detail and weight loss without losing muscle mass have impressed the team. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy welcomes more of these "stupid" mistakes if they yield such positive results.

Assessing the Chicago Bears' OTA Performance and Roster Prospects.

Assessing the Chicago Bears' OTA Performance and Roster Prospects.

The Chicago Bears have revamped their offensive line to protect quarterback Justin Fields, who was sacked 55 times last season. However, Tuesday's OTA highlighted the team's thin depth at the position, with right guard Nate Davis absent and inexperienced players Ja'Tyre Carter and Lucas Patrick splitting starting reps. While the starting unit looks improved, injuries are a given, and the Bears are just one injury away from an unproven or ineffective player stepping in. The team has time to add to the group before the season starts.
