Ben Johnson shares impression of new Bears center Garrett Bradbury

One of head coach Ben Johnson's biggest challenges when he first came to the Chicago Bears was improving the offensive line, which was historically bad in 2024. With an almost entirely different grouping in 2025, Johnson gave the Bears one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

Most of last season's unit is returning with two exceptions -- left tackle Ozzy Trapilo, who is going to miss most, if not all, of this season due to a torn patellar tendon, and center Drew Dalman, who elected to retire this offseason.  Dalman's retirement was quite surprising, especially after he signed a three-year contract through 2027 and made the Pro Bowl in 2025.
