With many players being on the bubble of being cut, here are two Bears players that are deserving of making the 2025 week one roster.
Jahdae Walker deserves the WR6 spot on the Chicago Bears roster
The 2025 undrafted free agent has had a really impressive training camp. Walker capped it off with an incredible performance in the fourth quarter of last Friday’s comeback win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Walker made two clutch catches in the fourth quarter, including the catch to win the game.

Walker made his case even more compelling due to how well he has played on special teams and as well as blocking. Walker was impressive with blocks on special teams and also made a tackle. He also shown great effort on a block during a screen pass.

He had a special teams tackle and an 80.8 special teams grade. Also, check out this blocking effort on the screen call! Really helped his case to make the team pic.twitter.com/9gMgrVLMyH

Walker has proved that he can be reliable in the offense and on special teams. If Ben Johnson decideds to go with six recievers instead of five, the former Texas A&M reciever should be given a spot. At the very least, he will likely be retained for the practice squad.
Daniel Hardy has a shot to get the last spot for defensive end
Defensive end Daniel Hardy has had a standout training camp for the second season in a row. Hardy had a strip sack during the final preseason game and also had a forced fumble. Ben Johnson has also praised Hardy for his performance against the Chiefs.

With Austin Booker set to miss a number of weeks, Hardy could be needed early for the Bears’ defense. Hardy has been competing with four-year veteran Dominque Robinson, and the final DE spot could very well go to either of them.
