Chicago Bears training camp is in full swing ahead of the 2026 regular season. Under second-year head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are looking to build on their success from last year and keep pace in a crowded NFC with significant meetings and practices at Halas Hall.
After their time in Cincinnati, the Bears returned to Halas Hall for the final open training camp practice of the year. The team created sure to treat the fans in attendance with exciting touchdowns, timely turnovers, and a long drive drill at the highly end of practice.
After every Bears training camp practice, we at Bears Wire will highlight the top players who stood out on the field. Here are the players who stood out from Day 18. 1. RB D'Andre Swift.
D'Andre Swift has been one of the biggest stars of training camp, so it's only right that he goes out with a bang for the final open practice. Swift was breaking off major runs no matter which side of the line he went. While the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs observed him getting three nice runs on the left side behind Braxton Jones, cHGO's Adam Jahns observed the veteran back scored a 14-yard touchdown from the right side. This has been a common occurrence for Swift and the solid practices bode well for a fast start to the season.
2. WR Rome Odunze.
Another player who seems ready for the regular season to commence is wide receiver Rome Odunze. This person has put together a robust camp and looks fully back to normal after last year's heel injury. Odunze created some of the biggest plays of the day, including a leaping touchdown grab in the end zone. On play action, quarterback Caleb Williams went through his reads and came back to Odunze. This person had broken free from Tyrique Stevenson. Williams introduced the ball his way for the score. Odunze additionally caught another leaping grab in the middle of the field and earned some yards after the catch with Cam Lewis in coverage. With Luther Burden still out with a groin injury, Odunze has had plenty of reps to strengthen his chemistry with Williams in recent weeks.
3. S Xavier Woods.
One of the positions still up for grabs is the safety spot opposite rookie Dillon Thieneman thanks to the Coby Bryant injury, and veteran Xavier Woods created a robust push for consideration with his performance on Tuesday. Woods, who was signed after the Bryant injury a few weeks ago, came down with an interception on the final play of practice, according to Brad Biggs. Quarterback Case Keenum dialed up a deep shot down the left sideline to Kaden Davis, but Woods read the pass all the way for the pick. Biggs additionally observed Woods had a pass breakup earlier in the day on a Tyson Bagent target to Jahdae Walker.
