As Bears training camp begins, we wrap up our position previews with special teams, where a kicking competition could be on the horizon.

Chicago Bears training camp is finally here, so it’s time to start looking ahead at the roster the team is bringing to Lake Forest.

We’re unveiling our Bears 2023 training camp position previews, breaking down every player by position and examining the group’s biggest question.
