The Chicago Bears have announced their captains for the 2026 season.
While there are some familiar faces, one player is receiving the designation after not getting it last year. We’ll get to that in a moment. But first, your 2026 Bears captains:
Caleb Williams, quarterback
Joe Thuney, left guard
Cairo Santos, kicker
Grady Jarrett, defensive tackle
T.J. Edwards, linebacker
Four of the team’s five captains from the 2025 team are captains again in 2026. That isn’t surprising.
