Bears Defense Rebuild Begins at OTAs

Chicago Bears defense is hitting the ground running at OTAs as Dennis Allen installs fundamentals and rebuilds from last season’s struggles. New safeties Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman must build chemistry, while Kyler Gordon’s injury status could open reps for Josh Blackwell and rookie Malik Muhammad. Jaylon Johnson’s absence and Tyrique Stevenson’s potential role as starter add intrigue. At linebacker, Devin Bush steps in for Tremaine Edmunds, DMarco Jackson likely locks down the other spot, and rookies Keyshaun Elliott and Ruben Hyppolite II get major reps without Noah Sewell. The key will be cohesion among new faces — especially in secondary and LB — as the Bears aim to build a stronger defense from the ground up.
