Checking in on a half-dozen former Bears who were instrumental in last season's success but are now carving out new roles with new teams.

The Chicago Bears defense got a boost with the return of defensive end Austin Booker, who practiced on Thursday.

The Chicago Bears have found clarity at the left tackle position but things can really become clear if Ozzy Trapilo continues progressing heading into Week 1.

The Chicago Bears have released veteran cornerback Jaylon Jones from injured reserve. Jones was once in line to be the team's primary slot cornerback with Kyler Gordon injured.
