The Chicago Bears officially began their 2025 training camp at Halas Hall, with rookies and quarterbacks reporting on the first day. Veterans will report on Tuesday, and the team will hold its first full-squad practice the following day. Fans can attend the first open practice on July 25.
The quarterback situation is a key area of focus for the Bears. Caleb Williams is expected to be happy with his new playcaller in Ben Johnson, who has taken over from Matt Eberflus. This change could unlock Williams’ full potential. The team also signed Case Keenum, an experienced veteran quarterback, which suggests that Williams may not be the only option.
The Bears may carry three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, but this decision depends on how much interest there is in last year’s number two quarterback, Tyson Bagent. If a team offers him a significant contract offer, the Bears might be forced to let him go. On the other hand, Austin Reed, a UDFA from last year, has a good chance of making the practice squad again if the team decides not to carry three quarterbacks.
A poll on the team’s website shows that 87% of fans think the Bears will open the season with three quarterbacks on their roster.
