The Chicago Bears will kick off their 2023 regular season against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 10, which is now 49 days away.
From now until the start of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by revisiting the players who have worn that specific jersey number.
No. 49 is currently worn by linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who was the team’s biggest free-agent acquisition. There haven’t many memorable players to wear the number, and the hope is Edmunds fixes that.
