Fields or defense: Who has the biggest Bears bounce-back season?

The 2025 season saw several Chicago Bears players underperform due to injuries, disappointing sophomore campaigns, or underwhelming free agent signings. Braxton Jones, the presumed starting left tackle for 2026, is highlighted as a candidate for a bounce-back year. After an injury-riddled 2024 and a challenging 2025 where he was replaced as a starter, Jones is reportedly healthier, stronger, and impressing coaches and teammates during the current offseason.
