Ben Johnson's key to unlocking the Bears' passing game after the bye was a planned adjustment that slipped out of his control

The Chicago Bears have a lot to assess during the bye week, a process the coaches started on Wednesday after sending players home for the remainder of the week.

Defensively, the run game needs some major improvements, which happens to still be a major concern on the offensive side of the ball. Even with some expected changes, the offensive line will be scrutinized before heading into Week 6 as well.

One thing that's not as heavily talked about this week is the passing game. And that's because quarterback Caleb Williams has played some strong football over the last two games and has the unit in a solid position with the strides he's made as a passer and the ability to distribute the ball to his play-makers on offense. Yet, there is one change head coach Ben Johnson can make, that he was already planning to make before things got out of his control, to further unlock the passing game.

Bears need to start getting TE Colston Loveland more involved after the bye week

The return on investment so far for first-round rookie tight end Colston Loveland has been inexcusable and it's been caused by two things completely out of Loveland's control.

During the first two games of the season, Loveland was a non-factor in the gameplan from a receiving standpoint, something his head coach said would be addressed and handled moving forward to get him more involved. It looked like Johnson would hold himself accountable to that.

In Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys, Loveland was targeted three times on the first 11 offensive plays, hauling in one reception for a big 31-yard gain. However, after playing six total snaps, Loveland suffered a hip injury that then forced him to miss Week 4's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
