Chicago Bears DL Austin Booker drawing support after personal announcement

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Austin Booker Bears

Chicago Bears defensive lineman Austin Booker had a promising 2025 campaign. He played 10 games last season, starting nine. He registered 4.5 sacks, 35 combined tackles (19 solo), 12 QB hits, three passes defended and one forced fumble. The 23-year-old also started both playoff games for Chicago.

Booker is expected to step into an even larger role this coming season. The former Kansas standout is widely regarded as Chicago’s starting defensive back for 2026 alongside Montez Sweat. The Bears did not bring in any high-profile edge rushers in free agency, which is a testament to how much trust they have in Booker.
