Article from Jason Lieser last week on Zaccheaus, D’Andre Swift, and DJ Moore all knowing each other during their high school days: chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/1...

Olamide Zaccheaus practiced some handoffs from the backfield yesterday. Maybe a new wrinkle.

Zaccheaus was a running back in high school, actually sharing the field with D’Andre Swift as a teammate coincidentally. He also had 79 carries for the University of Virginia.

Cronin: Did not see Grady Jarrett or Jaquan Brisker at practice for a 2nd straight day. Cairo Santos was with the specialists but not sure what work he was able to get done. Darnell Wright was working on a side field again with a trainer.

Ben Johnson on Caleb Williams playing more and more within the structure of the offense:

Biggs: Referee Alex Moore and his crew will work the #Bears #Commanders game. Moore is in his 1st season as a referee after spending 3 years as an umpire.

Moore's crew leads the NFL in penalties through 5 weeks with 95 accepted and another 22 declined. 17 more total flags than any other crew.

Ben Johnson says the “points of emphasis” when addressing the team on areas of improvement were penalties, the run game, and affecting the opposing team’s quarterback.

Courtney Cronin asked Ben Johnson if he thinks the Bears might need to upgrade at running back at the trade deadline.

Cronin: Colston Loveland said he feels "good" regarding the hip injury that sidelined him Week 4 vs. Raiders. It's similar to an injury he said he had at Michigan, and he wasn't concerned about it being something he'd have to deal with throughout the season.

Bears CB Josh Blackwell was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Per Bears PR, Blackwell joins Devin Hester as the only non-kickers in Bears history to win the award multiple times (Also won it Week 18, 2024). It's the fourth Bears STPOTW award in the past 22 weeks.

Bears are not required to put out an injury report during a bye week, but LB TJ Edwards (hamstring), CB Kyler Gordon (hamstring) and TE Colston Loveland (hip) all went through at least a portion of yesterday’s practice, according to Biggs.

Robert Mays: A lot of other stuff about the Bears — run game, defense, general sloppiness — has been frustrating so far this year. But ...

Caleb Williams is giving this team the best QB play they've had in the past decade.

Low bar, I know. But he's doing a lot of really nice stuff.
