Cornerback
- Starters: Kyle Fuller, Jaylon Johnson, Buster Skrine
- Back-ups: Artie Burns, Kevin Toliver
- Reserves: Sherrick McManis, Tre Roberson, Stephen Denmark, Xavier Crawford, Michael Joseph, Duke Shelley, Kindle Vildor
Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Kyle Fuller will have a new partner opposite him in 2020, following the release of Prince Amukamara. The front-runner to win the job is second-round pick Jaylon Johnson, who many had pegged as a top-three cornerback prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft. Buster Skrine also returns in the nickel, as well as Kevin Toliver and special teams ace and depth piece Sherrick McManis. Chicago added some depth with the additions of Artie Burns, Tre Roberson and fifth-rounder Kindle Vildor.
Safety
- Starters: Eddie Jackson, Tashaun Gipson
- Back-ups: Deon Bush, DeAndre Houston-Carson
- Reserves: Jordan Lucas, Kentrell Brice
The Bears upgraded at the safety position this offseason following the departure of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in free agency. Pro Bowler Eddie Jackson will have a new running mate, presumably veteran Tashaun Gipson, who would occupy the strong safety position and allow Jackson to return to free safety, where he’s been a dominant force. The Bears return key depth pieces in Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson, as well as added Jordan Lucas and Kentrell Brice.
