Nobody would ever have guessed that the Bears rookie most in line to start opening day against Atlanta would be safety Eddie Jackson.

The Bears remain firm in their stance on the Mike Glennon and Mitch Trubisky situation, even if history and the numbers don't back it up.

Bears kicker Connor Barth couldn't have been happy when the team signed Roberto Aguayo off waivers, and his responses to questions reflects that.

A former Mitch Trubisky schoolmate and Mentor, Ohio native had a front row seat for the QBs' rise to prominence and is still a bit upset about it.

A Kyle Long ejection sounds like something that just doesn't happen, but indeed it did during the Bears' most recent training camp practice.

John Fox and Ryan Pace, to their credit aren't abandoning the plan. Not yet anyway. The Chicago Bears brass have stated from the outset that veteran Mike Glennon is the starter in 2017. He has the experience and knowledge on his side. He's proven he can be effective in the right system. If nothing...

It's highly doubtful any Bears fan would've expected to hear a Mitch Trubisky Tim Tebow comparison, but head coach John Fox found a way.

There were plenty of jokes when the Bears claimed Roberto Aguayo off waivers. However, there is a method to their madness. It starts with history.

A lot of people wouldn't have noticed in the insanity of that Mitch Trubisky debut, but a big reason it was a success was due to another former draft pick.

Chicago Bears rookie safety Eddie Jackson came in with little fanfare via the 4th round of the draft, but one expert believes the team may have stolen him.

The Mitch Trubisky debut is still the talk of Chicago sports days later. Looking back there is a certain element that makes it even more encouraging.

The Bears aren't hiding from the Mitch Trubisky Drew Brees comparisons. In fact they're going the opposite direction by embracing them.
