Chicago Bears 2025 2nd-round pick not expected to return soon

Shemar Turner Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears‘ rival, the Green Bay Packers, are hoping to get star defensive end Micah Parsons back sometime in October.

The Packers defense will have to hold on until they can get their best player. In contrast, the Bears will grasp at straws for pass-rushers this season, and a 2025 second-round pick isn’t expected to return to boost the defensive line until around the same time as Parsons returns.

Per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, Shemar Turner, who the Bears drafted in 2025 while knowing about his shin injury history and rod in his leg, is not expected to return to play for Chicago until “sometime” in October after suffering an ACL injury against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 last season.

“But if the Bears have to lean on him, that means they’re not getting what they need from Austin Booker, Dayo Odeyingbo, and eventually Shemar Turner,” Biggs wrote. “It sounds like Turner might not be back in the mix until sometime in October.”

Biggs is putting Turner firmly in the defensive end category, something the Bears talked about moving Turner to earlier this offseason. Chicago initially drafted him as a defensive tackle.

It’s curious how the Bears expect Turner to compete at defensive end after gaining no reps at the position during OTAs and training camp. He played at six-foot-three, 293 pounds as a rookie. He’ll have to lose weight to play the defensive end position.

Turner made second-team All-SEC honors at Texas A&M in 2023. He played through an injury in his final season with the Aggies.

The Bears’ prospects at defensive end aren’t promising before the season. Turner cannot be relied upon to make much of an impact at the position even if he does return in October.

But Chicago doesn’t have many options at this point after neglecting the defensive line early in the 2026 draft.
