7 Bears rookies to watch during training camp

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the start of training camp with rookies set to report on July 25 before practices kick off next week at Halas Hall, where there are shaping up to be some intriguing position battles and depth chart positioning.

The Bears had an impactful 2025 draft class, led by tight end Colston Loveland, wide receiver Luther Burden III and running back Kyle Monangai, and they're hoping this 2026 draft class has a similar impact. There are potential stars in the making with this group, led by first-round safety Dillon Thieneman, as well as some offensive toys for head coach Ben Johnson with center Logan Jones, tight end Sam Roush and wide receiver Zavion Thomas.
