For Bears rookies and veterans on the bubble, Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game is an important opportunity to make a good impression.

Bears coaches talked about a few veterans who could have bigger roles in 2024, including Jones, Gervon Dexter and Kyler Gordon.

The Bears are 2-11 in games decided by eight points or fewer the last two years. That should factor into the evaluation of coach and QB.

We analyze the initial Bears 53-man roster and the decisions Poles made, specifically at backup QB and along both lines.

A few injuries may complicate things as the Bears figure out their initial 53-man roster, but they should keep three quarterbacks.

We break down the Bears' roster by position to see who has the most at stake heading into the final preseason game on Saturday.

With Bears training camp in the books, which players stood out? What position battles and questions remain?

The Bears roster is better, but there are tough decisions for them at running back and defensive end.

The Bears focused on specific situations — end of game, backed up to the goal line — in their return to practice and made some roster moves.

Jones struggled mightily during his rookie season until he stopped worrying what others thought about him.

The Bears bringing in five new starting offensive linemen in the offseason could be justified, but it’s highly unlikely.

Claypool was visibly frustrated during the game, and there could be several reasons why. Plus inside the stats from Sunday's loss.

Fields reached 1,000 yards rushing, including another highlight-reel run, but it came in another Bears loss.

Let's look at how the Bears' rookies have fared. Who has stepped up, who has been a disappointment, who's here for the long haul?

Will the offensive coordinator be one-and-done in Chicago? What's the concern level with Velus Jones Jr.? Bears mailbag and our game picks.

The Bears are being creative with their offensive attack, starting with quarterback Justin Fields and tight end Cole Kmet.

Fields makes something out of nothing as well as anyone. In that regard, he is in a class with Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.

The Bears simply failed to touch Parsons down after he recovered David Montgomery's fumble. “Yeah, that’s my fault," Justin Fields said.
