52 days till Bears season opener: Every player to wear No. 52 for Chicago

The Chicago Bears will kick off their 2023 regular season against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 10, which is now 52 days away.

From now until the start of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by revisiting the players who have worn that specific jersey number.

No. 52 is currently worn by defensive end Terrell Lewis, who will be competing for a roster spot. But there have been some memorable players to don the number, including Khalil Mack.
