Chicago Bears week 1 roster projections

In the latest episode of my T Formation Conversation podcast — My first in over a year! — I made my predictions for the 2021 Chicago Bears depth chart. Sure it’s a bit early with training camp not even underway yet, but I wanted to get something more realistic out there after perusing some really bad depth chart projections around the web.

Here’s how I see the Bears lining up week one barring an injury, an unexpected free agent pickup, or a trade.
