Bears Camp Report: Kyler Gordon Warning Shot, Caleb’s Next Step & Montez Sweat Injury Update

Author: The B.R.E.A.K.S Media July 29, 2026 Duration: 21:13

The Chicago Bears opened training camp with major storylines, and Ryan Poles did not hold back when discussing Kyler Gordon’s injury situation. Gordon is starting camp on the PUP list with a calf injury, and Poles made it clear that Gordon will have to earn back trust and dependability once he returns to the field. Ben Johnson’s message was simple: “Get healthy.”

On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest report day takeaways from Halas Hall, including the encouraging update on T.J. Edwards, who is not expected to miss much time, and the latest on a potential Darnell Wright contract extension after Ryan Poles said Wright is a player the Bears want in Chicago long-term.

Haize also dives into Caleb Williams’ Year 3 expectations, where Ben Johnson praised his elite arm talent, playmaking, escapability and “Superman cape” ability — while still emphasizing the need for more consistency over a full 60-minute game. Plus, Ben Johnson says the 70% completion goal for Caleb “always will be” the standard.

The show also covers the left tackle battle between Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills Jr., Theo Benedet and Kiran Amegadjie, plus the growing excitement around Luther Burden III, who Ryan Poles praised for his offseason growth, passion and drive to become the best receiver he can be.

Finally, Haize reacts to Montez Sweat being placed on the non-football illness list and Elijah Hicks landing on PUP, while also reviewing the broader Bears injury picture heading into camp.

Topics include: Chicago Bears training camp, Kyler Gordon injury, Ryan Poles, Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright contract extension, Luther Burden III breakout, Montez Sweat NFI list, Elijah Hicks PUP list, T.J. Edwards injury update, Bears left tackle battle, Chicago Bears Central.
