Amegadjie (elbow) is drilling with the second team at left tackle during the Bears' training camp, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
Amegadjie was unable to play any snaps in 2025 after being placed on Chicago's injured reserve list with an elbow injury in September, but he's now back in football shape for training camp. He'll continue to compete with 2025 second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo (knee) and Jedrick Wills (knee) for positioning on the 2026 depth chart at tackle.

Bears' Kiran Amegadjie: Starting camp on NFI list
Rotowire
The Bears placed Amegadjie (quadriceps) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Amegadjie was injured prior to the 2024 NFL Draft and missed all of OTAs and minicamp after the Bears selected him in the third round. It's hard to envision Amegadjie pushing Braxton Jones or Darnell Wright for a starting job at offensive tackle this summer after all of the missed reps.

Bears' Kiran Amegadjie: Headed home to Chicago
Rotowire
The Bears selected Amegadjie in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 75th overall.
A Chicago native out of noted football factory, Yale, Amegadjie is an impressive prospect with a legitimate chance to make the leap to NFL stardom. At 6-foot-5 and 323 pounds with 36-inch arms, Amegadjie has the size and length to stick at tackle on paper. He dominated Ivy League competition but the NFL will be a big step up. He will be just 22 years old for his entire rookie season, and thus, the Bears will not need to rush him onto the field if the starting unit stays intact. In time, look for Amegadjie to challenge for tackle reps in the Windy City.
