There are just 33 days left until the Chicago Bears kick off their regular season schedule with a matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Hence, I used Charles “Peanut” Tillman in our featured image. If you know, you know. And if you’re a Bears fan, then you already know.
I hope the undisclosed injury Bears tight end Cole Kmet suffered during Tuesday’s practice isn’t one that will keep him on the sidelines for too long. For what it’s worth, Jason Lieser (Sun-Times) reports Kmet’s injury is believed to be minor. Phew. With that being said, I’ll guess that Kmet will be unavailable for Sunday’s preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins. If he is, then perhaps we could see a local-ish product get some on-field reps:BEAR. DOWN.Thomas Gordon has signed with @ChicagoBears! pic.twitter.com/PqJfgucXbD
“I feel like that’s what we should practice like every day,” Stevenson said. “That’s the message the team shot to us, the coaching staff and everybody, that’s what we need to see out there every day to be a championship defense and championship offense. Moving forward,
The first part of Tyrique’s quote made the rounds yesterday, and it didn’t truly register with me. But reading the full quote gave his words more levity. I know I griped earlier in the summer about the Bears not sharing all of their press conferences immediately, but this is why I felt that way. Full, expansive quotes do more for our greater understanding of what is happening at Halas Hall than a snippet from a tweet. Do we want a better feel for things, or do we just want sound bites and Twitter clips with minimal substance? I know what I want as a fan… © Dan Powers/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin / USA TODAY NETWORK One thing I like about what I’ve heard from Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is that he sounds willing to adapt as practice periods roll along. This quote (via the Tribune) makes it seem like the first-year head coach seems open to adjustments on the fly: “We’ve been very strategic with trying to maximize our reps (during camp). And we’ve felt like offensively and defensively, the amount of reps we’re getting is really what we need right now as a team so that we’re learning and we’re growing. Maybe those (reps) are out on the grass under the lights, maybe those are in practice settings. That’s what we’ll come to a decision as a staff on.” Did you see that the Bears released their first depth chart on Tuesday evening? Some injury updates from Minnesota Vikings camp:Kevin O'Connell said tight end T.J. Hockenson is dealing with a "hip, leg, back — whatever you want to classify it at," issue that he suffered in practice on Saturday. C Ryan Kelly has "an elbow thing that got stretched out the wrong way. He'll be fine," O'Connell said.
— Judd Zulgad (@jzulgad) August 4, 2025 There are some notable names among the walking wounded in Minnesota. Among them is tight end T.J. Hockenson, who appears to be dealing with a variety of ailments. Also on the practice injury report is center Ryan Kelly. And while his coach says he will be fine, Kelly’s injury history is the type of thing that kept Bears fans from wanting the team to go all-in on him as a center option in free agency. With the Vikes providing the competition for Chicago in Week 1, I will continue keeping tabs on any injuries that pop up. San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle is not a fan of the NFL’s ban on smelling salts. It might take some time to get used to for Kittle, who admitted that he is a regular user of the now-illegal products. The Bears will see the Niners in Week 17 in a game that is currently slated for NBC’s Sunday Night Football. (ESPN) Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley was “shocked” to learn that he was on President Donald Trump’s council on sports, fitness, and nutrition. The council will reportedly include NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, and current players including Nick Bosa, Tua Tagovailoa, and Harrison Butker. The intersection of sports and politics is getting muddier with each passing day. In addition to the ESPN-NFL media merger we’ll discuss in a larger post later, the network is also acquiring WWE’s premium live events package. That deal will begin in the spring of 2026, with Wrestlemania likely being ESPN’s first major WWE event. What strange bedfellows media deals make.MORE FROM BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
