The Chicago Bears are reportedly considering a reunion with former star linebacker Khalil Mack, according to a Yahoo Sports report published Friday. The potential move comes in the wake of a trade involving defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, though details of that transaction were not specified.
Mack, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Chargers, was photographed in action during the team's October 18, 2026 game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year previously played for the Bears from 2018 to 2021 after being acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Oakland Raiders.
The Bears' interest in Mack signals a potential effort to bolster their pass rush following the Simmons trade. Mack recorded 36.5 sacks during his three-plus seasons in Chicago before being traded to the Chargers in 2022.
