Wishing the @NHLBlackhawks the best of luck this season! 🏒

Bengals in-season player acquisitions via trade (1973-present): 2020 — Traded Carlos Dunlap to Seahawks for OL B.J. Finney and a 7th-round pick 2024 — Traded a 7th-round pick to Bears for RB Khalil Herbert Today — Traded 5th-round pick to Browns for Joe Flacco and a 6th

Week 5 RB usage! -Workhorses with 70%+ snaps: Kyren, CMC, Achane, White, Gainwell (pre-bye), Javonte, JT, Pollard, Saquon, Cook, Mason. Starting all with confidence except Gainwell (Warren back), Pollard (Spears role probably increases, and, you know), Mason (on a bye so don't start him lol lmao rofl) -Plenty of touches despite not as cool snap rate: Bijan, Gibbs, Dowdle, Henry, Jacobs, ETN, Hall, Jeanty, Dobbins, Carter, Judkins, and Skattebo (pretty confident he remains clear RB1 even once Tracy returns) -Chiefs?: Muddled three-way committee all season with Hunt leading the way in carries and getting goal line work. Pacheco still probably profiles as the best fantasy option weekly but man, not enticing. Maybe Brashard Smith eventually gets a bigger role but right meow pure gadget. Skeptical he gets McKinnon-esque role due to size/pass pro concerns (0 pass blocking snaps this season) -Damn injury Gods: Lean Vidal > Haskins but not overly confident. Just think behind this o-line and given LAC willingness to throw the ball this year, give me the more explosive pass-catching option. Of course, I unfortunately know as a Columbus Ohio lifer that Haskins is good around the goal line. Wouldn't be surprised if old friend Gus Edwards joins this. Not confidently starting either for at least this week -Damn injury Gods Part II: No more Antonio Gibson in NE. Pain. Gotta think TreVeyon will get more work if Rhamondre fumbles 10-11 more times this year. But yeah: Probably 60/40 Mondre for now, would be a lot cooler if Henderson made more out of his opportunities -- 32nd and 30th in yards per carry/reception among 43 qualified RBs -Kendre Miller is good: And if Kamara ever gets hurt/traded.... -Workload there, efficiency is not: Chase Brown and D'Andre Swift. I'm especially pissed off about Brown. I know the offense sucks, but man, 83 touches without a single 15+ yard gain this season. The next-closest RB has 31. Concerns, but I'm generally pushing through them: Feature Kenneth Walker and David Montgomery. Would it be a lot cooler if both had more consistent workloads and didn't have to cede so many touches to their offense's other RB? Of course, but life isn't fair, and you probably don't have any better RB options on your roster, so fire up these talented real-life RBs and hope for the best. Maybe call your Mom and say hello while you're at it you selfish piece of shit (just kidding, kind of). BILL!: Bill Croskey-Merritt is a certified DAWG and leads the NFL in yards per carry (6.6). The usage bump last week was nice but I'm still a bit hesitant in assuming 15+ weekly touches with WSH continuing to keep C-Rob and McNichols involved. That said, smash matchup vs. Da Bears -- fire up Bill with more confidence than ever this week.

With a sly smile today, Ben Johnson said he has a pretty good idea who Sunday's starting LT will be. No official clarity beyond that. But arrows seem to be pointing toward Theo Benedet. It also remains possible that Ozzy Trapilo could start at RT if Darnell Wright remains out.

The Bears have opened the window today for DE Austin Booker and RB/special teams standout Travis Homer to return from injured reserve.

The #Bears are activating the practice windows for DE Austin Booker and RB Travis Homer, who are on injured reserve. Both are eligible to come off of IR and play Monday against the Commanders if they are ready. They've missed Homer on special teams, while Booker might be able to give the pass rush a spark.

Case has the dad jokes 😂

Wasn’t just fans, there was a guy I used to respect who used to work for the Bears that tried to drag my name through the mud and was wrong about everything he said.

As part of our #85at40 limited series at @2ndCityGridiron, @gridironborn and I rewatched SBXX and did a Bear & Balanced style cooled-down recap of the #Bears' 46-10 win. Both the podcast and the video version will drop at 6:00 p.m. CT tonight!

Back to work.
