Bears Defense: Health and Depth Key | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears’ defense is poised for a breakout—if they can stay healthy and hit their stride. With Montez Sweat locked in at DE, Austin Booker and Dayo Odeyingbo battle for the No. 2 spot, while Grady Jarrett and Gervon Dexter Sr. must deliver at DT. Cornerback depth hinges on Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon staying injury-free, with Tyrique Stevenson stepping up as the No. 2. Rookie hopefuls Malik Muhammad and Terell Smith could add spark, but the real test is whether this unit can avoid nagging injuries and gel under pressure. If they crack the top 15, the Bears could be Super Bowl contenders. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
