Chicago Bears roster bubble: four players fighting for training camp spots
Every summer, NFL football teams practice hard to pick the best players for the new season.
The Chicago Bears have finished two weeks of practice.
Their first practice game is only one week away.
Coaches are starting to decide which players get to stay on the team.
Four players are still fighting to keep their spots.
Theo Benedet has been moved behind other players at his position.
Roschon Johnson has a lot of competition at running back.
Ruben Hyppolite II has not stood out in practice at all.
Tyrique Stevenson keeps making mistakes on the field.
These players need to play really well soon to keep their jobs.
The Chicago Bears have completed two weeks of training camp and are one week away from their first 2026 preseason game.
Undrafted free agent Theo Benedet has fallen behind Jedrick Wills Jr. and Kiran Amegadjie at left tackle following Braxton Jones' late-week injury.
Running back Roschon Johnson faces a crowded backfield behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, with Salvon Ahmed and undrafted rookie Coleman Bennett competing.
Linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II has been nearly invisible through two weeks of camp after spending most of his rookie season as a healthy scratch.
Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson continues to battle the consistency issues Dennis Allen flagged at the start of camp.
