• Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: Slight regression in second year

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Stevenson posted eight tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Stevenson played in 16 games and ended the season with 78 tackles (51 solo), 12 passes defensed, including two interceptions (including a pick-six) and a forced fumble. Those numbers were down slightly from the cornerback's rookie season, when he tallied 86 tackles (65 solo), 16 defensed passes, including four interceptions, and two forced fumbles over 16 games. Regardless, Stevenson has established a solid IDP scoring floor, as he enters the final two years of his rookie deal with the Bears.

• Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: Unlikely to start Week 9

  11/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Stevenson isn't expected to start in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but he will be active for the contest and is expected to rotate with Terell Smith, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Stevenson had started in each of the Bears' six games that he's been healthy enough to play thus far, logging 35 tackles, six pass breakups and an interception, which he returned for a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Titans. However, Stevenson will be on the bench to begin Sunday's contest as a punishment for his actions on the final play of last week's 18-15 loss to the Commanders, when Chicago gave up a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown with no time remaining. Prior to the final snap, Stevenson was seen making celebratory gestures toward Washington fans, which caused him to be late to get in position for Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary. Stevenson ultimately got his hand on the ball, only to tip it up in the air and into the waiting hands of Commanders receiver Noah Brown, who secured the touchdown catch. Stevenson has since expressed contrition for his role on the final play, and he's expected to be back in the starting lineup in Week 10 against the Patriots.

  Stevenson recorded nine tackles in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. Though Stevenson set a new season high in tackles, he attracted negative attention when he appeared to taunt Commanders fans before the final play of the game. Stevenson then arrived late to the scrum at the goal line while awaiting Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary attempt, knocking the ball in the air and into the waiting hands of Washington receiver Noah Brown for a game-winning touchdown with no time remaining. Despite his poor execution on the final play, Stevenson remains locked into a starting role in the Chicago secondary opposite Jaylon Johnson. Through six games, Stevenson has tallied 35 tackles, six pass breakups and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown in Week 1.
