Chicago Bears hold training camp competition at center position
Summary

The Chicago Bears are hosting a training camp competition at center, featuring veteran Garrett Bradbury and rookie Logan Jones. Head coach Ben Johnson confirmed the contest following the abrupt retirement of Pro Bowler Drew Dalman earlier this spring. Bradbury, acquired from the New England Patriots, brings experience from 105 career games, while Jones, the Bears’ 57th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has garnered attention for his strong collegiate performance at Iowa. Both players will be evaluated during training camp, with implications for the team's immediate and long-term plans at the position.
