3. Bears are getting back some injured starters
One of the key ingredients for Chicago’s impressive 2018 season was the fact that they were able to stay relatively healthy. Sure, there were minor injuries here and there, but they didn’t lose anyone for a significant period of time. Which couldn’t have been more opposite in 2019.
The Bears suffered a rash of injuries in 2019, which included three defensive stars landing on injured reserve in defensive tackle Akiem Hicks and linebackers Danny Trevathan and Roquan Smith. The offense also lost its top three tight ends to injured reserve, as well as suffered from the loss of right guard Kyle Long to season-ending IR and Bobby Massie, who missed the final five games of the season.
Heading into 2020, the Bears are getting back most of those injured starters, which should do wonders for this team. Especially with the return of Hicks, Trevathan and Smith.
