8 takeaways from the Bears’ loss to the Packers

From Luke Getsy’s development as an OC to Alex Leatherwood’s solid debut, here are our takeaways from Bears vs. Packers.

The Chicago Bears dropped yet another game to the Green Bay Packers and were eliminated from playoff contention for the second season in a row. The Bears fell 28-19 after allowing Aaron Rodgers and the Packers back into the game late, unable to secure a win after leading most of the game.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields looked impressive in his return from injury, but two late interceptions halted any hope of a victory. Rodgers and the Packers did enough late to seal the game and for the first time in 100 years, lead the NFL in all-time wins.

Like most of their games this season, the Bears were in it all the way until the end but questionable decision making by the coaching staff and a defense held together by duct tape couldn’t secure the win. Here are our takeaways from Sunday’s loss.

7 standouts from Thursday’s Bears training camp practice

Here’s who stood out during Thursday’s non-padded Bears training camp practice.

The Chicago Bears held their final practice of the week on Thursday morning before they play in their preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. It was a lighter, non-padded practice for head coach Matt Eberflus’ squad, but plenty of players still stood out on both sides of the ball, with the offense looking sharp during the first half and the defense stepping up their play later on.

After taking in the practice from the endzone bleachers, here’s who stood out to me and made an impact on the field.

Bears 2022 training camp preview: Safeties

We’re taking a look at the Bears safeties and the biggest question facing the group, which features plenty of newcomers.

Chicago Bears training camp is less than a month away, which means it’s time to start looking ahead at the roster the team is bringing to Lake Forest.

The backend of the Bears defense was a complete liability at times during the 2021 season. But just like the cornerbacks, the safety position is going to look quite different when the Bears get underway in week one. Players like Eddie Jackson and DeAndre Houston-Carson are still around, but the rest of of the safeties are basically brand new. How will the newcomers affect the position group as a whole?

Here is our preview of the Bears safeties.

30 Most Important Bears of 2022: No. 28 DeAndre Houston-Carson

Our 30 Most Important Bears of 2022 series continues with safety DeAndre Houston-Carson, who looks to be the new leader on special teams.

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the 2022 NFL season, which features plenty of new and returning faces within the organization. There are a number of players, coaches and front office members that are crucial to the team’s success this season.

Every day from now until the start of training camp, we’re counting down our 30 most important Bears for the 2022 season. We’ll recap their 2021 season, look ahead to 2022 and tackle the biggest question facing them this year.

Next up at No. 28 is safety DeAndre Houston-Carson, who looks to be the new leader on special teams and a key reserve in the secondary.

Report: Bears are re-signing S DeAndre Houston-Carson

The Bears are bringing back a key reserve and core special teamer in safety DeAndre Houston Carson.

The Chicago Bears are bringing back a key reserve and core special teamer in safety DeAndre Houston Carson, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

It’s a one-year deal worth $1.77 million guaranteed for Houston-Carson, who’s coming off his best season with the Bears. In six years with the Bears, Houston-Carson has been a reliable reserve safety and special teams contributor.

Last season, he appeared in 13 games, where he made the most of his opportunities, including being one of six Bears who had an interception on the year. He also started three games, stepping up as injuries sidelined starters Eddie Jackson and Tashaun Gipson.

Houston-Carson likely won’t be the starter opposite Eddie Jackson. But not only does Chicago need to decide who will start alongside Jackson, but they need to have depth at the position, as well. That’s where looking at someone like Houston-Carson makes sense to bring back.

Houston-Carson is the second in-house free agent that general manager Ryan Poles has elected to bring back, joining long snapper Patrick Scales. The Bears now have two safeties under contract with Houston-Carson and Jackson.
