Since coming to the Bears via trade in 2023, Moore has been a highly productive receiver, but Johnson wants him to get more touches. The veteran receiver took some snaps in the backfield at practice this week, and Johnson told reporters the offensive staff is "exploring some things."

He's a physical, run-after-catch, just-get-me-the-ball type of guy,” Johnson said. “There's a number of things that we're looking to do and explore how we get him the ball and get him in space.”

Amid the battle at left tackle, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson spoke about the deadline for the team's starting offensive line.
