Just spoke with a Bears source and can provide context on @JayGlazer's report about Tyrique Stevenson leaving practice Wednesday upon finding out he would not start vs. Arizona.
Bears coaches/execs arrived at the decision to not start Stevenson on Tuesday and relayed that to the cornerback before Wednesday's practice, which was a walk thru. I'm told that Stevenson did leave practice after the stretching period to gather himself after learning of his demotion from the starting lineup but returned to practice after a couple minutes inside the locker room and came back out for the team periods during walk thru. While Stevenson's teammates have expressed frustrations over how things went down in Washington, there wasn't anything confrontational due to the cornerback leaving walk thru before returning.
The plan for Stevenson today will be to rotate in, similar to how the Bears used Terell Smith in Washington (23 snaps) last week. This isn't a permanent benching by any means. Sources I spoke with this morning and this week have indicated to me that the Bears have strong belief in Stevenson and want to help hold him accountable and allow him to move past his actions that took away his focus from the Commanders game.
Bears 4th quarter win probabilities:
2023 vs DEN - 98.1%
2023 at DET - 98.2%
2023 at CLE - 91.0%
2024 at WAS - 96.4%
They lost all four of these games.
If your response to Gen John Kelly, gold star father & Trump’s WH chief of staff, confirming that Trump praised Hitler & called members of our military “suckers and losers” is to defend Trump, you need to look in the mirror and realize your dishonor will live forever.
