Chicago Bears project use of 13-personnel in 2026 offense

The Chicago Bears are set to implement a 13-personnel offensive package in 2026, under head coach Ben Johnson. This strategy involves utilizing three tight ends, one wide receiver, one running back, and five offensive linemen, aimed at strengthening their run game. Key players in this formation will include quarterbacks Caleb Williams and running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet, along with draft pick Sam Roush, are expected to create mismatches and open opportunities for play-action passes. The Bears are focused on establishing their run game to facilitate a dynamic offensive approach.
