What the numbers say about the Bears running game — plus a look ahead to the Ravens
Chicago Bears Insider Thursday, October 23, 2025 | | |
| | | | | Good evening, Chicago. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his hamstring Sept. 28 against Kansas City.

A team with championship aspirations is now in desperate need of a mid-season revival. Getting their two-time MVP quarterback back on the field would certainly be a start. “He’s that dynamic as a quarterback as a runner, in my opinion, the best mobile quarterback in NFL history,” Bears safety Kevin Byard said. “So I think the main thing is to understand that the only thing you can do is try to slow him down, especially when he's running.” Stay connected with us all day: Sign up for our newsletters to get the latest news in your inbox.
