The Bears are holding their first practice in pads Monday morning, which will give coach Ben Johnson his first real look at the running game and the strength of his offensive and defensive lines. It’s their fifth practice of training camp.

The Chicago Bears positioned themselves as a team to watch this season with the hiring of former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as head coach, a move that fans hope will shore up one of the franchise's historic Achilles heels,

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson is putting an emphasis on game management and the attention to detail it'll take to get there.

Johnson’s colonial Plymouth home is on the market for $1.1 million. The former Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator listed the nearly 4,000-square-foot home, built in 2017, last week.

The most telling analytic football number, according to Ben Johnson, says something very specific about Caleb Williams' chances to win with the Bears.

Saying that two tight end sets are a Ben Johnson staple would be a slight misrepresentation, but expecting that the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator won’t dabble with sets that feature both Kmet and Loveland would be an equally big mistake.

Ben Johnson is working to establish his identity as the offense's head coach, while Kevin Byard praised his intensity and D'Andre Swift is excited to be reunited with his old offensive coordinator, and three rookies were held out of practice for various reasons Thursday.
