Bears rookie tight end Sam Roush prepares for 2026 season

The Chicago Bears are preparing for the 2026 NFL season, following a successful 2025 campaign that included an NFC North title. Rookie tight end Sam Roush, selected No. 69 overall in the draft, is expected to play a role in head coach Ben Johnson's offense. Roush had an impressive final season at Stanford, recording 49 catches for 545 yards. He will compete for playing time with established tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet during training camp, and a key question remains whether he will surpass Kmet on the depth chart. Roush's performance will be closely monitored as the season progresses.
