MOBILE, Ala. — For the first time in the three years I have covered the Reese’s Senior Bowl practices, there wasn’t any rain. I was prepared for it, though. Not only did I bring a rain jacket, but I also had an umbrella and a hands-free umbrella holder. Yes, those exist. Bottom line, the rain would not have had an…
MOBILE, Ala. — The practices continued on Wednesday at Hancock Whitney Stadium for Day 2 of the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl week. With plenty of position groups in need of upgrades for the Bears, what players stood out for the National and American Team? I highlight some of the potential draft prospects in my top observations from Wednesday’s practice. National…
MOBILE, Ala. — With the sun beating down on Hancock Whitney Stadium, the sound of pads popping could be heard throughout the American Team practice. Not much music was played and the rest was minimal in between drills on Tuesday morning.

His 749 rushing yards is sixth-most in…

On first-and-10 from the Chicago 36-yard line and with two minutes left in Sunday’s game, Za’Darius Smith sacked Justin Fields and forced a fumble. A scrum of players jumped on the ball but Lucas Patrick recovered it. Fields faced pressure again on…
Let’s try starting something new throughout this Bears season. Each week, about halfway through, I want to share my takeaways from the previous game, observations on the next opponent and highlight what was said from coach Matt Eberflus, quarterback Justin Fields and from the locker room. We will call this Moreano’s Midweek Update for now, but I’m always up for…
Welcome to my weekly Chicago Bears Redzone Report where I take a deep dive into every red zone possession on both sides of the ball. A team’s success or failure inside the red zone has a strong correlation to its overall performance. In many ways, it’s do or die inside the 20. I want to take some time every week…...
