I’m still feeling the after-effects from Tuesday’s procedure, so I’m planning to take it easy today. So if you see me around here less than you’d expect, that’s why. Thanks for understanding. Hope I’ll feel better on Thursday.
Another day, another national media outlet picking Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III as a breakout player to watch in 2026. This time, it is The Athletic getting in on the action. Burden is the pick-to-click for the Bears because duh. More from Dan Wiederer:“I’m buying Luther Burden stock right now.” That was the heartfelt endorsement offered in May by the visionary of the Bears’ offense, Ben Johnson, who referred to the receiver’s spring growth as “electric.” As a rookie, Burden came alive down the stretch, posting 40 catches, 547 yards and a touchdown over his final 10 games, including the playoffs. Now, he has increased confidence, heightened trust from his play caller (Johnson), growing chemistry with his quarterback (Caleb Williams) and continued praise from his teammates. Said tight end Colston Loveland, a fellow Year 2 breakout candi “He’s the truth, man. And nothing but the truth.”
I love that Colston Loveland quote about Luther Burden III. And as much as I am vibing with the Darth Luther nickname for the Bears wideout, I might just take “The Truth” as a nickname off of Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce and put it on Burden. Who’s going to stop me? Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden. | Kyle Terada-Imagn Images No Bears players make ESPN’s list of the NFL’s 10 best wide receivers. There were also no Beas to earn honorable mention status. Heck, none of the team’s wideouts even received votes. That’s humbling. The following players who are Bears opponents do make the cut: Justin Jefferson (Vikings, WR-2), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Seahawks, WR-3), Amon-Ra St. Brown (Lions, WR-5), A.J. Brown (Patriots, WR-9), Drake London (Falcons, HM), Jameson Williams (Lions, HM), DeVonta Smith (Eagles, receiving votes), Brian Thomas Jr. (Jaguars, receiving votes), Chris Olave (Saints, receiving votes). Defensive backs Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson, Kyler Gordon, Coby Bryant, Dillon Thieneman, and others will have their hands full this season.A NEW BN BEARS PODCAST EPISODE IS OUT: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
The Bears issued a statement after the death of Houston Texans co-founder Janice McNair:“The Chicago Bears are deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs. Janice S. McNair. Through her foundational support in the creation and leadership of the Houston Texans, and her trailblazing work in her community, Mrs. McNair created a legacy comprised of grace, kindness and love that permeated throughout the National Football League. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire McNair family, the Houston Texans and all who mourn the loss of Mrs. McNair.”
Our countdown to Week 1 of the NFL’s regular season continues:We are 6️⃣0️⃣ days from the Bears kicking off the 2026 regular season vs. the Panthers. Bill Murray wore No. 60 for the Bears during his three-game stint with the team in 2024. Of the 42 offensive snaps he has taken in his career, 37 came in a Chicago Week 5 win vs. Carolina in 2024.[image or embed]
— Bleacher Nation Bears (@bn-bears.bsky.social) July 15, 2026 at 8:18 AM The most accomplished player to wear No. 60 for the Bears was Wally Chambers. A first-round draft pick by Chicago in 1973, Chambers won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award as he totaled nine sacks and two fumble recoveries in 14 games. Chamberes played 60 games in five seasons for the Bears from 1973-77, with those first four years standing out. During a four-year stretch from 1973-76, Chambers made three Pro Bowls, was named to the All-Pro team three times (including first-team recognition twice), and earned top-4 finishes in the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award voting twice. What an impressive run! Other Bears players who wore No. 60 include offensive linemen such as Lance Louis (2010-12), Dieter Eiselen (2020-22), Cornelius Edison (2016), as well as Darwin Ireland (1994). Stan Thomas, the Bears’ first-round pick in 1991, wore No. 60 during his two seasons with the team. When you consider the players who went after him in the draft (DT Ted Washington was a four-time Pro Bowl DT, Brett Favre was a Hall of Fame QB, Ricky Watters was a five-time Pro Bowl RB … I could go on, but won’t), you can understand why old heads do not remember that selection with fond memories. A fun trip down memory lane as the Chicago Tribune takes a look at Caleb Williams and the 11 other No. 1 draft picks made by Chicago’s sports teams. Adam Schefter isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. ESPN announced a multi-year extension with the long-time NFL ESPN insider, which should take him into the 2030s. Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden is more known in some circles for his broadcasting work on Monday Night Football. And even though he hasn’t been in a steady presence in the game day booth for a while, it isn’t stopping him from putting new goals out there to reach. Gruden shared his desire to be a football play-by-play voice, and it sounds like he will get that chance.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook | Twitter | BlueSky
Pete Crow-Armstrong made a brief appearance for the National League in MLB’s All-Star Game, playing a few innings of defense and collecting a single in his only plate appearance. It was just one of three hits the NL snagged on Tuesday evening. It’s almost as if PCA should’ve gotten some more PT. Over at BN Bulls, Alex Kirschenbaum shares his thoughts on ESPN’s scathing portrait of what it was like for Chicago’s basketball team during the Artūras Karnišovas era. It truly was the worst of times. I can’t believe the Bulls gave him as much time to fix things as they did, especially when it was clear that change for the better wasn’t happening. Tab Bamford has more on the Chicago Blackhawks being well represented on this new list of 100 top hockey prospects. At some point, I’d like to see the Hawks turn these prospects into stars. And then I’d like to see those stars produce some victories on the ice.More Bears From Bleacher Nation: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
