Lewis vs. Thieneman for Bears' Second Safety Spot

The Chicago Bears have a training camp competition for the second safety spot between rookie Dillon Thieneman and veteran Cam Lewis. Thieneman was drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, filling a team need. While Thieneman is expected to start, Lewis, who has starting experience, could potentially begin the season as the starter if Thieneman struggles to adapt to the defensive scheme.
