Chicago Bears’ DJ Moore got busy at a new position on Monday
Don’t expect Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore to line up as the “X” for 60 minutes a game this season.
On a roster full of pass-catching talent that includes second-year receiver Rome Odunze, rookie second-round pick Luther Burden III, and tight end Colston Loveland who can line up in the slot, Moore can be a dangerous threat out of the backfield.
DJ Moore was in the backfield on Monday
Per Zack Pearson of Bear Report, Moore lined up in the backfield several times at practice Monday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Illinois. He took a hand off during 11-on-11 drills.
Having Moore in the backfield is one example of the creative scheme new head coach Ben Johnson is installing this summer.
“I can’t say a whole lot on it,” Pearson wrote. “But I do expect some really creative stuff from Ben Johnson in this offense. Not just trick plays, but getting guys open with the scheme and putting them in certain spots on the field. Similar to what we saw in Detroit last year.”

Moore has had 57 carry attempts during his seven years in the league. He rushed for 431 yards (7.6 yards per rush) and one touchdown.
On an offense that has a lot of skilled hands, this is an easy way to get the ball into the hands of the Bears’ No. 1 receiver.
Good things happen when the ball is in Moore’s hands. He finished with 966 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2024. He had a career-high in receiving yards (1,364) in his first season with Chicago in 2023.
