Chicago Bears

Earlier this week, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson posted a photo of his fine for being late to a meeting. Both head coach Matt Nagy and Johnson said they talked about it and it's not an issue.

The Bears will have their hands full Sunday with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Hub Arkush writes.

The Bears will visit Tampa this week to take on Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers. Brady and the Bucs offense is clicking on all cylinders to start the 2021 season.

Jimmy Graham will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, according to Bears coach Matt Nagy. Graham is the third Bears player to go on the COVID-19 list in the past eight days.

Hub Arkush, Sean Hammond and Kyle Nabors discuss why the Bears are struggling on offense and take listener questions ahead of Sunday’s matchup against Tampa Bay.

Allen Robinson returned to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, which was good news for the Bears. However, several starters remain out due to injuries. The latest addition to the injury list is defensive tackle Bilal Nichols, who has a knee injury.

Bears second-year pro Trevis Gipson could be thrust into a starting job this week with outside linebacker Robert Quinn going on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He believes he's up for the task.

With a third of the NFL season now in the rear-view mirror and the trade deadline just two weeks away, it’s time to take a breath, make an honest evaluation of who these Chicago Bears are, and what should and must come next, Hub Arkush writes.

Several Bears starters missed practice Wednesday due to injuries. Bears coach Matt Nagy said he doesn't anticipate any change in status for Tarik Cohen, who is eligible to return off the PUP list this week.

The Bears have worked to make their offense easier for rookie quarterback Justin Fields. "Every football player plays better when it’s simple," Fields said.
