Chicago Bears fans had so many questions entering training camp, and after the final roster was released, few were answered.
In fact, Bears fans might have even more questions to answer after seeing it. Some choices were interesting, and others were ones that fans knew were coming, but it still bothered them all.
The Bears have to answer some of these questions that the fan base has before the 2026 season. What are the burning questions fans have about the 53-man roster?
Bears' biggest questions with the current 53 players after roster cutdowns
What's the plan at linebacker?
The team currently has only four linebackers on the roster, which is fewer than most NFL teams would like. Noah Sewell is currently on the PUP, leaving the team scrambling for a plan. Bears fans would be interested in seeing if they plan on adding anybody at linebacker to the 53-man roster.
Why didn't James Lynch make the 53-man roster?
One head-scratching question for the Bears was that Lynch missed the cut and was released. That was an interesting move by Chicago, and it leaves some wondering why they did it, after a terrific preseason with the team. Some Bears reporters have already stated that they expect Lynch to be re-signed at some point.
Can someone with the Bears explain the Kyler Gordon situation?
Gordon is still out with the soft-tissue injury and is now on the PUP list. When will fans see him back on the field, or will they ever? This is a major concern that Ben Johnson has said weekly that he doesn't know, so something is going to have to give.
How are the four tight ends going to be used?
Hayden Large was one of the biggest surprises to the roster, leaving the Bears with four tight ends. It does leave some to wonder what Johnson has planned with the offense since Large is there. Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet will be the top receivers, but what does this all mean for Sam Roush and Large?

How is the secondary going to look in 2026?
The secondary now has Clark Phillips III on it after being part of the Gervon Dexter Sr. trade with the Atlanta Falcons. There are a lot of new faces in the secondary with many of them not having worked with each other for more than a year. How are they all going to work together in 2026 without much time together?
