Jul 1, 2026 · 2 min

Chicago Bears training camp is heating up with fierce competition for roster spots, and five players are stepping up to make their mark early. Braxton Jones, the recovering left tackle, is back healthy and earning full coach confidence after last season’s struggles. Austin Booker, the rising edge rusher, is showing he’s ready to anchor the pass rush alongside Montez Sweat. Rookie safety Dillon Thieneman, once slow to start, is now making big plays and being hailed as a defensive cornerstone. And Zavion Thomas, drafted for special teams, is dominating OTAs with his speed and versatility—willing to play receiver, running back, or anywhere the team needs him. This is a roster full of talent, and these five are leading the charge.
