Our next Most Important Bear is Colston Loveland, Chicago's first-round pick who could give Johnson his own version of Sam LaPorta right away.

Colston Loveland is going to have plenty of attention on him when training camp opens up for the Chicago Bears. That's what happens when you're picked No. 10 overall in the NFL Draft out of Michigan. Loveland is just hoping his shoulder is ready to go. He's recovering from surgery to repair the AC joint in his right shoulder.

Before Colston Loveland begins his NFL journey with the Chicago Bears, he’s been working through the final stages of recovery from a serious shoulder injury. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft was sidelined after suffering a Type V AC joint dislocation in his right shoulder during the 2024 season at the University of Michigan—a painful separation that typically requires surgery and a four to six month recovery timeline.
