76 days till Bears season opener: Every player to wear No. 76 for Chicago

The Chicago Bears will kick off their 2023 regular season against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 10, which is now 76 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. 76 is currently worn by offensive lineman Teven Jenkins, who is moving to left guard this season. But there have been some memorable players to don the number, including Steve McMichael.

With 76 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to ever wear No. 76 for the Bears (via Pro Football Reference):
