The Chicago Bears wrapped up their mandatory minicamp with a focus on situational drills, showcasing various trick plays. Quarterback Caleb Williams demonstrated his agility, making notable throws while on the run despite also throwing an interception during the two-minute drill. Coach Ben Johnson praised standout players such as Dominique Robinson and Joel Wilson for their performances throughout the offseason.

As the Bears prepare for their final set of OTAs next week, which will cater specifically to younger players, rookies, and special teamers, the atmosphere at Halas Hall remains optimistic. With the team now heading into the summer break and the anticipation building for the upcoming season, the coaching staff is keen on maintaining momentum and harnessing the potential shown in these recent practices.

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft, marking Ryan Poles' fourth draft as general manager. As they prepare, an assessment of the 2022 draft class reveals a mix of successes and failures. Cornerback Kyler Gordon, selected 39th overall, has emerged as a key player in the secondary with a solid B+ grade. Jaquan Brisker, while showing promise, has battled injuries and receives a B-. Velus Jones, however, is viewed as a major misstep with a D- grade, having underperformed after being drafted in the third round. Offensive lineman Braxton Jones, picked in the fifth round, earns a B+, showing potential despite injury concerns. Other picks like Dominique Robinson and Zachary Thomas failed to make a significant impact, raising questions about Poles' draft strategy.

Evan Engram, the tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars, is set to play against the Chicago Bears after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for four games.

Meanwhile, the Bears will be without cornerback Tyrique Stevenson due to a calf injury, along with several other players including safety Jaquan Brisker and wide receiver Velus Jones Jr.
