It's game week in Chicago as the Bears prepare for their matchup against the Miami Dolphins, with some news regarding their depth chart.
Late Wednesday afternoon, the Bears released the first unofficial depth chart of the year that would give fans a better idea of who might be ahead in the biggest position battles at training camp. These are subject to change before the Dolphins game, and expect them to be changed throughout the preseason and regular season.
So, who is leading the pack at each position, and who is falling behind?
Here is the Bears first unofficial depth chart of training camp. Nothing concrete here, per what Ben Johnson said earlier, but to note:

Bears' Offensive Depth Chart
WR - DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, Luther Burden III, Tyler Scott, Samori Toure, JP Richardson
LT - Braxton Jones, Ozzy Trapilo, Joshua Miles
LG - Joe Thuney, Luke Newman, Bill Murray
C - Drew Dalman, Doug Kramer Jr., Ricky Stromberg
RG - Jonah Jackson, Ryan Bates, Jordan McFadden, Chris Glaser
RT - Darnell Wright, Kiran Amegadjie, Theo Benedet
TE - Cole Kmet, Durham Smythe, Joel Wilson
TE - Colston Loveland, Stephen Carlson, Jordan Murray
WR - Rome Odunze, Devin Duvernay, Miles Boykin, Maurice Alexander, John Jackson, Jahdae Walker
QB - Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum, Austin Reed
RB - D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, Ian Wheeler, Kyle Monangai, Deion Haskins
Left tackle has been the biggest and most crucial position battle at training camp, as it appears that Jones is out ahead of Trapilo and Amegadjie. Interesting to see Homer high on the depth chart with Monangai dropping to the RB5 spot.
Bears Defensive Depth Chart
DL - Montez Sweat, Austin Booker, Daniel Hardy
DL - Grady Jarrett, Chris Williams, Shemar Turner
DL - Gervon Dexter Sr., Zacch Pickens, Jamree Kromah
DL - Day Odeyingbo, Dominique Robinson, Tanoh Kpassagnon
LB - T.J. Edwards, Amen Ogbongbemiga, Ruben Hyppolite II, Swayze Bozeman
LB - Tramaine Edmunds, Noah Sewell, Carl Jones Jr., Power Echols
S - Jaquan Brisker, Elijah Hicks, Major Burns
S - Kevin Byard III, Jonathan Owens, Alex Cook, Tysheem Johnson
DB - Kyler Gordon, Josh Blackwell, Nick McCloud, Zach Frazier
CB - Tyrique Stevenson, Terrel Smith, Ameer Speed, Tre Flowers
CB - Jaylon Johnson, Nashon Wright, Shaun Wade, Jeremiah Walker
The rookies are positioned lower than expected, with Hyppolite, Turner, and Frazier essentially serving as third- or fourth-string players. Sewell is positioning himself to be the third starting linebacker as he gets out ahead. The cornerback position remains a position of interest in camp to see who can make it with Wright moving up to the second string.

Bears Special Teams
K - Cairo Santos, Jonathan Kim
P - Tory Taylor
KO - Cairo Santos, Jonathan Kim
H - Tory Taylor
LS - Scott Daly, Luke Elkin
KR - Devin Duvernay, Josh Blackwell
PR - Devin Duvernay, Josh Blackwell
No major surprises on special teams with Duvernay positioned to be the starting returner. It's interesting to see Blackwell listed as the only other player as a returner, which could mean they are a lock for the roster due to their return specialties.
