Press Taylor prepares Chicago Bears offensive skill players for season opener

Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Press Taylor intends to lean on a versatile group of skill position players throughout the 2026 season. Under head coach Ben Johnson, the team developed depth across the roster, including a tight end room featuring Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, and Sam Roush. Running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai lead the ground game, with Roschon Johnson available to rotate in as needed. The wide receiver corps includes Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Zavion Thomas, Kalif Raymond, and Jahdae Walker. Taylor emphasized that the variety in personnel allows the offense to avoid predictable tendencies and challenge opposing defenses. The team plans to showcase this positional flexibility in their upcoming season opener against the Carolina Panthers on September 13.
