Kevin Szafraniec
September 6, 2024
Isaiah Likely has been able to flash in each of his first two seasons when Mark Andrews has missed time. After logging three TE1 and three TE2 performances in his rookie season, Likely’s big shot came in 2023 when Andrews went down in Week 11 and missed the remainder of the regular season.

Kevin Szafraniec
September 4, 2024
After the Bears signed D’Andre Swift to a three-year, $24.5 million contract early in free agency, it was evident that the team planned on making him their lead back in 2024.
