Chicago Bears have concerning injury update on key pass-rusher
After failing to seriously address the defensive line during free agency and the draft, the Chicago Bears were planning on using a few techniques to help the unit rush the passer this fall.
The Bears want the secondary to help the unit via coverage. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and his staff plan to coach up the roster better. Chicago was looking to switch Shemar Turner from defensive tackle to defensive end.
On Wednesday, the Bears had a not-so-good update on Turner, who suffered a torn ACL against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 of last season. As of the second day of mandatory minicamp, Chicago isn’t sure when he’ll return to the practice field.
“We’ll see with Shemar,” head coach Ben Johnson told reporters. “This summer is going to be a big part for him. We’ll have a good six weeks off and see where he’s at when we come back for camp.”

The Bears selected Turner with the No. 62 pick in the 2025 draft out of Texas A&M. He played in five games last season, recording six total tackles and two tackles for loss.
Turner has had a rough injury history since his final season at Texas A&M. He suffered a stress fracture in his shin in 2024, which curbed his production. He was expected to be a first-round pick before the injury.
Turner had a rod inserted into his shin but it never fully healed before the draft. He showed up to OTAs out of shape, and suffered an ankle injury early during training camp last summer, prompting him to miss pivotal practices for his development.
The Bears list Turner at six-foot-three, 293 pounds which is not ideal if the team decides to move him to the edge. He’ll have a lot of work to do to catch up in training camp if the Bears plan to use him as a defensive end for the regular season.
