It quickly became apparent Bears running back D'Andre Swift fell into some disfavor Sunday with his third-quarter lost fumble. Ben Johnson dealt with it quickly by pulling Swift from the game for the final three series and the Bears moved on behind the hard running of Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson.
The Chicago Bears needed a big advantage in their Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets, and running back Kyle Monangai provided exactly that. The rookie running back delivered the best performance of his young career, rushing for 146 yards and two touchdowns as the Bears picked up an impressive win.
Imagine debuting for a new team on Sunday, putting up a solid performance, and then walking away from the game forever on Monday. That is the exact shocker former first-round pick Marcus Davenport delivered this week.
The Chicago Bears have spent years searching for steady footing in a league that rarely waits. Their roster has turned over, their quarterback room has stayed unsettled, and their offense has often looked like a work still in progress.
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
Veteran defensive end Marcus Davenport confirmed his retirement Monday, NFL Network reported. Davenport, 30, saw action in one game with the Chicago Bears this season, recording one tackle in 12 defensive snaps in Sunday's 23-12 home victory over the New York Jets.
Former Bears DL Marcus Davenport has opted to retire from the NFL, according to Ian Rapoport. Davenport, 30, was drafted by the Saints in the first round out of UTSA in 2018.
9:02pm: We now know why Davenport asked for his release. He has chosen to retire, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Davenport will hang up his cleats with 166 tackles, 25 sacks and seven forced fumbles over 78 games and parts of nine seasons.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
The Chicago Bears’ defensive identity has flipped faster than anyone expected, and Dennis Allen deserves every ounce of credit for it. After a brutal Week 1 showing where the secondary was torched for 361 yards and three touchdowns, Allen’s unit has responded with one of the most dramatic early‑season turnarounds in the league.
Tyson Bagent started his first game of the season on Sunday against the New York Jets. The Chicago Bears quarterback played well, leading the team to a 23-12 win at Soldier Field.
The 2026 NFL season is underway and with that is new product for sports card collectors. One of the latest releases is the new Bowman football which hit shelves last week.
Kyle Monongai had a breakout game in Week 4, earning a career-high 30 carries. His heightened responsibilities came in part due to starting running back D’Andre Swift fumbling the ball.
In the third quarter, D’Andre Swift made a play he’d regret, fumbling the football at the Chicago Bears’ 28-yard line that resulted in the New York Jets cutting the lead to 13-6 via a Jason Sanders field goal.
The Chicago Bears released veteran defensive end Marcus Davenport from the practice squad on Monday, the first of several roster moves to come on the defensive side of the ball.
The Chicago Bears have released DL Marcus Davenport, according to Aaron Wilson. Adam Jahns added that Davenport asked for his release and was granted it.
The New York Jets fell to 1-3 against a Chicago Bears team playing without QB Caleb Williams. One Bears defender’s locker room comments made the afternoon look even uglier.
Through the first four weeks of the 2026 season, the Chicago Bears lead the league in rushing, averaging 196.3 yards per game. Kyle Monangai has played a key role in helping Chicago hold the top spot.
The Chicago Bears enter Week 5 sitting near the top of the NFC North after a strong 23-12 victory over the New York Jets. While Chicago still has plenty to prove, the division race is beginning to take shape as the Bears prepare for their first matchup with Green Bay this season.
Ahead of the Chicago Bears' Week 4 game versus the 1-2 New York Jets on Sunday, Johnson declined to reveal whether Bagent or Case Keenum would start at quarterback over injured Williams. Johnson has decided to go down a different route as the 3-1 Bears prepare to play at the rival Green Bay Packers (2-2) on Oct. 11.
The Chicago Bears defense came to play for the third consecutive game and there’s reason to believe Dennis Allen’s could be even better as the season goes on.
The Bears beat the Jets on Sunday, winning their second straight game without Caleb Williams at quarterback. That puts Chicago at 3-1 on the year. Having found success with Case Keenum and then Tyson Bagent under center, the Bears have managed to put themselves in strong early contention for a playoff spot.
The Chicago Bears are in action Sunday afternoon against the New York Jets, once again without starting quarterback Caleb Williams. This left head coach Ben Johnson with a decision to make.
