Welcome to Season 4 of the Bears Wire podcast! Hosts Ryan O’Leary and Alyssa Barbieri kick things off with Tevon Jenkins landing on IR, leaving the left guard position uncertain for the Bears' season opener. Do the Bears have enough in reserve up front to thwart the Packers’ dangerous front seven? Also, strong safety Jaquan Brisker is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, adding more uncertainty to the defense. The hosts question the team’s plan at backup quarterback, and Ryan's prediction on Chicago’s Week 1 matchup with Green Bay likely won’t sit well with Bears fans. Other topics include the Bears' run defense, close-game struggles and the Packers' most punchable face post-Aaron Rodgers. Tune in for the latest Bears insights with Week 1 fantasy football advice from TheHuddle.com!
