Bears' Caleb Williams: Set to operate without Burden
Williams will be without Luther Burden (groin) for the entirety of the preseason, but the Bears believe that the second-year wide receiver will be available for Week 1 at Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 13, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Williams is entering his second season under head coach Ben Johnson and his third NFL campaign overall, and his No. 2 option at wide receiver Luther Burden just suffered a groin injury Saturday that will sideline him for the entirety of the preseason. The quarterback completed 53 passes to Burden for 718 yards and two touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests and two postseason games this past season. Williams has substantial rapport with WR1 Rome Odunze, but he will now have to lean on offseason addition Kalif Raymond, third-round pick Zavion Thomas (knee) and second-year pro Jahdae Walker at practice in Burden's absence.

Bears' Ray-Ray McCloud: Signs with Chicago
The Bears signed McCloud to a contract Monday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
With Luther Burden (groin) and Zavion Thomas (knee) injured, McCloud was signed as an additional depth piece at wide receiver. Wide receiver Kyron Hudson (undisclosed) was waived/injured in a corresponding move to McCloud's signing. The experienced return man will now have a shot at the Bears' 53-man roster, needing to beat out Scotty Miller for a shot at being the No. 6 receiver.

Bears' Zavion Thomas: Avoids major injury
Thomas is dealing with knee soreness but isn't expected to miss much time, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Thomas left Sunday's practice early with a knee injury and is day-to-day as he recovers from the issue. The wide receiver has been thrust into a more relevant role for at least the preseason after Luther Burden (groin) left Saturday's practice with a significant injury. The faster Thomas can return to the field, the more time he has to convince the coaching staff he deserves an increase in regular-season reps and targets alongside his kick-return duties.

Bears' Luther Burden: Set to miss preseason, should play Week 1
Burden (groin) is expected to sit out all three of the Bears' preseason games, but the team believes the wideout will be available for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Burden sustained a groin injury during a 1-on-1 drill in Saturday's practice and will need around a month to make a full recovery, but the Bears are optimistic that he'll be able to get enough on-field work in prior to Week 1 to avoid missing any games that count. While the 2025 second-round pick is out for the rest of training camp and the preseason, the Bears will have added reps available at receiver behind Rome Odunze and Kalif Raymond. Zavion Thomas, Jahdae Walkerand Scotty Miller are all candidates to see extra opportunities in the next few weeks as they compete for roster spots as depth options in Chicago's wideout corps. When healthy, Burden will have an opportunity to make a mark from a fantasy perspective in 2026, while operating as a key target for quarterback Caleb Williams in a Chicago passing attack that will also feature Odunze and tight end Colston Loveland.

Bears' Luther Burden: Expected to miss one month
Burden (groin) is expected to be sidelined for roughly one month, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Burden suffered a groin injury at practice Saturday, and he is now set to be unavailable for the entirety of the preseason. The hope from the organization is that the wide receiver will be back and available for the Bears' regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Chargers. If Burden is forced to miss any regular-season action, offseason addition Kalif Raymond and third-round pick Zavion Thomas (undisclosed) would stand to see an increase in targets while operating opposite of No. 1 wideout Rome Odunze in Chicago's offense.

Bears' KC Eziomume: Bound to IR
Eziomume (undisclosed) reverted to the Bears' injured reserve list Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Eziomume was waived/injured by the Bears on Saturday and went unclaimed. The cornerback will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Bears' Beanie Bishop: Signs with Chicago
The Bears signed Bishop (suspension) to a contract Sunday.
Bishop finds a new home with the Bears shortly after being waived by the Saints in late July. The cornerback is set to miss the first three games of the 2026 regular season for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy back in March. Bishop's suspension does not prohibit him from practicing or playing during the preseason, so he may see some action due to the injuries to Coby Bryant (knee), Cam Lewis (leg), Elijah Hicks (shin), Kyler Gordon (calf) and Terell Smith (knee).

Bears' Zavion Thomas: Exits practice early
Thomas (undisclosed) exited Sunday's practice early after a 7-on-7 collision, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
While it has not been disclosed what type of injury Thomas suffered, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports that the wide receiver briefly grabbed his knee before limping off the field. The rookie third-rounder was set to start the regular season as the primary kick returner for the Bears, so any long-term knee issue wouldn't be great for the team's versatility. If Thomas must miss time, Jahdae Walker could see an increase in usage, continuing the momentum he built near the end of his rookie season.

Bears' Cam Lewis: Avoids serious injury
Lewis (leg) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Lewis was carted off the field Saturday with a leg issue, but Coach Dennis Allen said the cornerback's injury is not likely to sideline him for too long. This means Lewis probably avoided a severe injury and will just need to rehab whatever part of his leg is causing the issue.

Bears' Luther Burden: Will miss time with groin injury
Burden is expected to "miss a little bit of time" due to a groin injury that he sustained during Saturday's training camp practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Burden picked up the injury after colliding with Tyrque Stevenson during a 1-on-1 drill in Saturday's training camp practice. It would not be surprising if Burden were held out of Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns, with an aim to return for the Bears' second exhibition contest against the Bengals on Saturday, Aug. 22. Kalif Raymond, rookie third-rounder Zavion Thomas, Jahdae Walker and Scotty Miller are poised to see more reps in team drills alongside Rome Odunze for as long as Burden is sidelined.

Bears' Cam Lewis: Carted off field Saturday
Lewis left the field on a cart with a trainer Saturday after appearing to suffer a left leg injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Lewis was hurt during a two-minute drill and limped off the field while favoring his left leg. Though he was carted to the locker room, Greg Braggs Jr. of CHGO Sports notes that it's "standard procedure" for players to get a cart when hurt on Fields 3 and 4 (as Lewis was), whether the injury is serious or not. With that in mind, Lewis' outlook is hazy for the time being.

Bears' Braxton Jones: Dealing with 'minor' knee issue
Jones isn't practicing Saturday due to a knee injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Jones made an early exit from practice Thursday, and he isn't yet ready to return. However, Biggs describes the knee issue as "minor," so it doesn't seem like Jones is at risk of not being ready for Week 1 of the regular season. He's projected to compete for the starting role at left tackle.

Bears' Luther Burden: Exits practice with apparent injury
Burden left Saturday's training camp practice due to a lower-body injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Burden sustained the injury after colliding awkwardly with Tyrique Stevenson during a one-on-one drill in Saturday's practice. Burden went with a trainer to the team's facilities to undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. The 2025 second-rounder has been a standout in offseason programs and training camp and is lined up for an expanded role in his sophomore campaign following the departure of DJ Moore, who was traded by the Bears to the Bills in early March.

Bears' Dallis Flowers: Goes on injured reserve
The Bears placed Flowers (leg) on injured reserve Friday.
Flowers appeared to injure his right leg during Thursday's training camp practice and had to be helped the field, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. The injury is severe enough for Flowers to go on injured reserve, which will force the Pittsburg State product to miss the entire 2026 season.
