I’m going to my first-ever Kacey Musgraves concert tonight. That probably isn’t something you thought you’d read from me. But her most recent album is tremendous, and I am a sucker for good songwriting and spiffy wordplay. So the sooner I get through BN Bears Bullets, the sooner I can fully prepare for concert night.
ICYMI: A new episode of The Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast is OUT. And this was a fun one. Patrick, Matt, and I discuss the fallout from Chicago’s preseason opener, dig into the updated depth chart, reflect on the value of the preseason, and have some laughs along the way.

Colleague Patrick Flowers wrote about the connection between quarterback Caleb Williams and tight end Colston Loveland in his Thursday installment of Bears Bits. This video serves as a visual example of what it looks like:.@colstonlovelan1 is a problem ?? pic.twitter.com/4mB9CCYVs0
— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) August 20, 2026 Alyssa Barbieri (Bears Wire) shares more highlights from Bears-Bengals joint practice. Pro Football Focus dubbed Colston Loveland as a breakout fantasy candidate because DUH! More from Nathan Jahnke:He particularly excelled over the final four weeks, including the playoffs, drawing at least nine targets in each of those games while averaging 94 yards and scoring twice. He was also the only tight end with four 90-yard games on the year, postseason included, while Trey McBride had three and several others had two.
His strong playoff performance helped him to an 86.2 receiving grade, the best mark among tight ends with at least 75 targets. Loveland should be able to build off that 2025 momentum. Chicago moved on from two of its top four players in targets, DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus, and replaced them with Kalif Raymond, who will be 32 before the season, and third-round rookie Zavion Thomas. That should open the door for Loveland to see more consistent targets going forward.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league will (eventually) have a team based outside the United States. On the one hand, I appreciate the league’s willingness to expand its horizons and branch out internationally. Sports are better and more enjoyable when you can introduce them to others and share the good times with more communities. But on the other hand, I struggle to see how practical it would be for players. Imagine being dealt from Green Bay to a London-based team at the trade deadline. That would be wild, purely from a culture-shock standpoint.

Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Hopefully, the Commish won’t move the Bears overseas. Sure, this fanbase wants a new stadium. And some folks are willing to travel to get to it. But we’re not trying to go across the pond weekly to watch our favorite team. Well, most of us. I think I’d apply for work relocation if they moved the Bears to Europe. And I could finally live out some dreams I scribbled in a journal after my trip to Barcelona in 1999 that is somewhere at my parents’ house. Speaking of the Commish and the Bears’ pending move, this segment featuring Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio isn’t as far-fetched as you might otherwise think:It's in the realm of possibility that NFL executives and owners are telling the Bears they won't approve a move to Hammond, Indiana, @ProFootballTalk told @mullyhaugh."That's something that they're never going to declare publicly because it blows up the leverage," Florio says. pic.twitter.com/L1JOLk3i05
— 104.3 The Score (@thescorechicago) August 18, 2026 On the surface, the idea of the league essentially blocking a move to Northwest Indiana is absurd. But league owners are all about their money. And if they do not see a forecast in which a Hammond Bears stadium site will maximize their profits, I can see some power players doing what they can to steer the Bears away from a move to Northwest Indiana. We’ve seen the league’s most powerful owners influence moves of the Chargers, Raiders, and Rams. And we’ve seen the NFL commissioner throw his weight around to get what he wants. That Bears Chairman George McCaskey publicly admitted that the league “still needs to be sold” on a move to Indiana speaks volumes about where we are in this saga. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has sold a 10 percent stake of the team at a $10.6 billion valuation, according to CNBC’s reporting. It is absolutely wild to think about how Blank, the co-founder of Home Depot, bought the team for $545 million back in 2002. At what point does money become Monopoly money to these guys?

The Seattle Mariners are calling up MLB’s top pitching prospect to face the Chicago Cubs on Saturday because of course they are! When the Mariners had a chance to help the Cubs, they laid an egg against the Milwaukee Brewers. And now they’re unleashing one of baseball’s top prospects. I hope they light this guy up. Over at BN Blackhawks, Tab Bamford has some thoughts on the improved ranking for the Chicago Blackhawks’ front office. James Harden is back with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a new three-year deal. Harden is one of the weirdest players to get a feel for in modern NBA history. The numbers are there, but his style of play is grating to watch.More Bears From Bleacher Nation: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
