The Bears are returning both starting inside linebackers from a season ago, including former first-round pick Roquan Smith, who’s looking for a big season. While Smith had an up-and-down year in 2019, he started to put it together in Trevathan’s absence. He was playing some of his best football when he suffered a torn pectoral muscle against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14. The injury landed him on injured reserve.

Smith has a chip on his shoulder heading into the 2020 season, as he knows that he didn’t play to his expectations last year. But with the athleticism and instincts that he possesses, this could be the year Smith puts it all together.
