The Chicago Bears finished 5-12 in 2024, dead last in the NFC North. Following last season, the Bears parted ways with head coach Matt Eberflus. As his replacement, Chicago hired former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
In the 2025 NFL draft, the Bears had the 10th overall pick. Despite having a capable TE in Cole Kmet on the roster, they drafted Colston Loveland out of Michigan. On January 29, 2025, Loveland had surgery to repair a grade five AC joint separation and a labrum tear. The rookie has been rehabbing, and the Bears are hopeful he’ll be clear during training camp.
