The Chicago Bears might not play their starters much on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but they still have plenty of players to watch for.

A few borderline starters could see some extended action, plus some key backups who will play significant roles in the regular season.

All signs point to the Chicago Bears starters playing very little this preseason, even if Ben Johnson won't say for sure.

He's putting a lot of stock in the team's joint practices, and his Detroit Lions didn't use starters much either.

The Chicago Bears could find a way to make a trade for Micah Parsons work, but the downsides of the deal make it extremely unlikely.

Ryan Poles won't want to give up the draft picks necessary, and it would put him in salary cap trouble for the foreseeable future.

Colston Loveland and Luther Burden get all the attention, but Ozzy Trapilo and Kyle Monangai are the Chicago Bears rookies making waves at training camp.

Braxton Jones and Roschon Johnson are in trouble with their respective position battles, but the depth chart is far from locked in.

Ben Johnson talked about changing the Chicago Bears culture, and now we're seeing real evidence of it at training camp.

Players and coaches are getting real accountability, and team leaders like Caleb Williams are clearly buying in to the message from the top.

The Chicago Bears have a major cornerback battle for Tyrique Stevenson at training camp, but it's not against any player we expected.

Ben Johnson's weapons on the Chicago Bears can do things that his receivers on the Detroit Lions couldn't do.

That's going to make the offense around Caleb Williams look different than the offense around Jared Goff.

Chicago Bears rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner is going to be out for most of training camp, right as rookie wide receiver Luther Burden returned to practice.

Their health, plus an injury to new pass rusher Tanoh Kpassagnon, will go along way toward determining which players make the final 53-man roster.

Chicago Bears fans are wasting their time living and dying by every good or bad update about Caleb Williams at training camp practices.

Early struggles are part of the learning and growing process, and success at practice doesn't tell us much about how the team will do in the regular season.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver has been recovering from a soft tissue injury for multiple months. It's starting to become a real problem.

The more training camp practice he misses, the smaller his role could be in Ben Johnson's offense. That could mean even more opportunity for Colston Loveland.

The signing of Tanoh Kpassagnon doesn't alleviate all of the Chicago Bears pass rush concerns, but he is definitely an upgrade over what Dennis Allen already have.

Plus, Ryan Poles added Tre Flowers as extra cornerback depth because of Jaylon Johnson's unexpected injury, which might not be a huge deal but isn't a little deal either.

The Chicago Bears brought in WR DJ Chark for a visit, but just because he played for Ben Johnson doesn't mean they're going to sign him.

The Bears' supporting cast for Caleb Williams is already in a great spot.
