Bears Defense Rebuild Under Allen

The Chicago Bears’ defense stumbled last season, ranking near the bottom despite a playoff run — and the blame largely fell on defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Now, with a revamped roster and a renewed focus on fundamentals, Allen’s second year hinges on whether his new approach can turn things around. New safeties Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman are poised to anchor a promising backline, while Devin Bush brings solid playmaking to replace Tremaine Edmunds. But the cornerback spot remains shaky, with Kyler Gordon’s injury history looming and Tyrique Stevenson expected to carry the load — though rookie Malik Muhammad could be a surprise. Minicamp will be the first real test to see if Allen’s philosophy clicks with this new crew, especially as Gordon’s health remains uncertain.
