The Chicago Bears are set to commence their 2025 training camp on July 23, with several players returning from significant injuries endured during the prior season. Key players like Jaquan Brisker and Andrew Billings, who were sidelined for most of 2024, will rejoin the team. Brisker’s history of concussions raises concerns as he enters a contract year where performance is critical for a potential extension. Meanwhile, Billings’ role as a run-stopping defensive tackle is anticipated to bolster a previously weak run defense.

Other notable returns include Braxton Jones, who will face competition for his starting position, and rookie tight end Colston Loveland, fresh off successful collegiate play despite an injury that cut his season short. Veteran Case Keenum will also compete for a backup role after a preseason injury last year. As the Bears aim to solidify their roster, the performance of returning players will be crucial for the upcoming season.
