4. Stay as healthy as possible
When factoring in the reasons the Bears regressed from 2018 to 2019, health was a significant factor. Chicago managed to avoid any extensive injuries in 2018, which allowed their starters on offense and defense to remain on the field. The same couldn’t be said for 2019, where they suffered injuries to defensive studs Akiem Hicks, Danny Trevathan and Roquan Smith. They also lost right guard Kyle Long, right tackle Bobby Massie and their top three tight ends in Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen and Ben Braunecker.
If the Bears are going to have a chance at success in 2020, they need to stay as healthy as possible. Obviously, that’s out of their control for the most part. Especially with a shortened offseason amid the coronavirus pandemic. But if Chicago can stay healthy where it matters, it’ll go a long way in their potential success next season.
