Seems like the way things are going we might need this. With Coby Bryant out, his new backup, Xavior Woods now hurt and just learned Monongai’s injury was worse than originally thought. Reports are that he hyper-extended his knee after (get this) Grady Jarrett tackled him from behind and (allegedly) ‘forgot they weren’t in pads.’ NBC SportsKyle Monangai (knee) to miss multiple weeksBears RB Kyle Monangai is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hyperextended knee, reports ESPN's Jeremey Fowler.

I’m not sure if it’s worth linking these films but just in case some didn’t find them:

Kromah is making the team. He lost 20 pounds to switch positions and you can see the twitch, power and motor are popping on tape.

This makes the announcement about Ozzy returning to practice to ramp up for the season even more impressive. If I remember correctly (and I have already proven my memory is not so great), Turner went down early in the season, whereas Ozzy went down in the postseason? I wouldn't get so worked up if they would give us actual updates on his progress.

He blew out his knee last year and is still in rehab. I wouldn’t put him in the Same bucket as Gordon.

Have they said what Turner's injury is? Another "soft tissue" problem? Groin? Pec? Calf? ???? I had high expectations for the guy. I'm as disappointed in his constant no-shows as I am in Gordon's.

He isn't getting much and it will be a 1 yr deal. My guess is this means Turner is further away.

I suspect not an expensive deal , probably just a hedge against anymore injuries. Like AZ stated, underwhelming. Last year he signed with the Lions for 2.5 mil with 1.65 mil guaranteed.

I wonder if Sweats injury and Bookers lack luster preseason game put some heat on Poles to address the position.

This is pretty underwhelming news I guess it fills a spot for the preseason and maybe longer while Turner gets up to speed Have to see the contract but hopefully it’s something we can easily walk away from https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2026/08/17/bears-sign-marcus-davenport/91340280007/

Have to say that was the bad part since whatever #1s we started were the ones that gave up points to Clevelands 1s.

The defense pitched a shutout after allowing 10 pts.

Read this morning that both Monangai (knee) and newly signed Xavior Woods (groin) came out of the weekend scathed. Reports say Monangai’s injury was close to being pretty “serious” and with Woods‘ injury I suspect they’ll be on the market for another veteran Safety(?).

Amazing news!

Moving very smoothly. I’m not seeing any signs of a limp. x-safari-https://redirect.x.com/BradBiggs/status/2089100270462439524?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2089100270462439524%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbearswire.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Fbears%2F2026%2F08%2F16%2Fbears-news-ozzy-trapilo-returns-practice-video%2F91331496007%2F&ct=rw-null

I think the young DTs will replace Dexter during the season. Not that he won’t be on the field but his share of snaps will decrease.

I heard that too. Having been a bench player in my younger years I was always happy to get playing time. So why wouldn’t he have been happy to get the call in a key moment in the game? Regardless my biggest takeaway after watching him closely is that he’s a slow athlete. Quick feet and quick hand help a lot in line play. Both sides. He’s like the Gervon Dexter version of OT.

Happy he heals quick, but hope he isn't rushing it. Any set backs and he goes to IR if they need the roster spot.

I am good if they can get something for him. I see it as Trapilo, Jones, and if they can keep one more it is Kiran over Wills because of Poles 3rd round investment.

Yikes. Marvels of modern medicine. Or he’s just a quick healer. Patella tendon tear is a pretty devastating injury and after seeing him ‘limp off’ after he got it was pretty admirable. Dude must have an extremely high pain tolerance. Here’s to him not rushing back.
