The Bears are navigating a myriad of changes that include the franchise securing the future location of their new stadium, transitioning new president Kevin Warren into the fold as well as Chicago deciding what it will do after trading away its No. 1 pick in the next month’s NFL draft.
However, one thing that is not on the Bears’ to-do list is being the team chosen for the new season of HBO’s Hard Knocks. Each preseason, the NFL gets fans excited about the upcoming season with the electrifying docuseries that provides a behind-the-scenes look as one team looking to stabilize its 53-man roster ahead of the new campaign.
When few teams volunteered to have HBO’s crews film and hang around their facilities during the NFL’s preseason, the league mandated eligibility guidelines stating what franchises could be chosen during a specific year. Heading into the ’23 season, the four teams eligible to appear in the popular docuseries are the Bears, Saints, Jets and Commanders.
