Bears Finalize Roster Ahead of 2025 Season Kickoff

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Chicago Bears have finalized their preseason schedule and now face the task of finalizing their 53-man roster. Over the past 12 days, the Bears played all three of their preseason games, a rapid pace that has left the new coaching staff with little time to evaluate their options.

With the preseason now complete, the Bears must trim their 91-man roster down to just 53 players, plus a 16-man practice squad. This will be a critical test for the first-year coaching staff, who will need to make tough decisions on which players to keep and which to let go.

One of the key positions to watch will be quarterback, where Caleb Williams is expected to start all 17 regular season games. However, the backup job remains up for grabs, with Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum competing for the role. The Bears made a significant investment in Keenum this offseason, suggesting he may have the edge.

As the Bears prepare for the 2025 season, their focus will be on solidifying their roster and ensuring they have the right mix of players to compete in the NFC North. With the regular season just around the corner, the next few days will be critical for the Bears as they finalize their plans for the upcoming campaign.
