Is new Bears WR Dontrelle Inman the key to unlocking Mitch Trubisky and the Bears' passing game? Arthur and Hub answer that question and discuss the Pro Bowl-caliber play of Akiem Hicks and Kyle Fuller, whether Chicago should work to extend Fuller's contract now and how an upset in New Orleans likely necessitates Trubisky and the offense doing much more than Chicago has asked of them during its two-game ascent.Like what you hear?  Subscribe to us here in iTunes.

Arthur Arkush and Hub Arkush discuss the Bears' injuries and sloppiness on offense after Week 2 and whether reinforcements will arrive before the Steelers touch down at Soldier Field on Sunday. Who's to blame for the Bears' rough start... and are we really surprised? Would debuts by Kyle Long and Markus Wheaton cure what ails the offense? And perhaps an updated timeline on #TrubiskyWatch2017.

The Bears lost more than just the game last Sunday stacking up a few more crucial injuries, however there was a lot of positive thoughts to take away from their loss against the Atlanta Falcons. It’s on to Tampa Bay in Week 2 as the Bears continue prep for the Buccaneers. Will Tarik Cohen have another standout game? Can the Bears defense stop Jameis Winston and company? Hub and Arthur Arkush recap week 1 and look ahead to week 2 in this Pro Football Weekly - Chicago Podcast.

Arthur Arkush and Hub Arkush grab the reins of the PFW Chicago podcast following a mini hiatus and dive right in with the most important Week 1 Bears stories: Now that Mitch Trubisky is potentially one Mike Glennon injury away from regular-season action, what's his level of preparedness? How good can the Bears' front seven, and defense overall be in 2017? What's the level of concern with O-line and injuries in the defensive backfield? The guys also provide an Atlanta-Chicago preview and share their predictions for the opener.

They go through every headline you'll hear in the coming weeks from Bourbonnais, from Glennon and Trubisky to Pernell McPhee to the battles at tight end, wide receiver, safety and much more. 

With two weeks to go until training camp, we're joined by Amanda Kaschube (@amandakaschube) and Maggie Hendricks (@maggiehendricks) of the Hair Lo Chicago Podcast (@HairLoChicago) to discuss all things Bears, including: where the team ranks among other Chicago teams, who fans have to root for this season, Mitch Trubisky's car and his nickname, the Soldier Field experience and what we miss most about Jay Cutler.

Kevin and John also discuss Bears fantasy sleepers as well as the feature story on our website about Bears director of pro scouting Champ Kelly.

School's out for summer! The Bears wrapped up their offseason training program and head on a 6-week summer vacation, so we welcomed back Moon Mullin (@CSNMoonMullin) from Comcast SportsNet Chicago to recap what we saw from the Bears. Kevin and Moon discussed Adam Shaheen and Tarik Cohen, Glennon vs. Trubisky, which defensive back will step up and much more. Producer John joins the show at the end as he and Kevin look ahead to when the Bears will have a QB controversy and other things to watch when training camp begins.

Mark Potash (@MarkPotash) of the Chicago Sun-Times joins the show to talk about John Fox's paranoia when it comes to Kevin White, what position battles we're looking forward to and where the Bears rank in Chicago as teams fans can be excited about in the short- and long-term. Kevin wraps the show with the return of the Bachelorette updates and a look ahead to next week's Bears practice.

It's a storytelling podcast this week as Kevin plays sound from John Fox, Dowell Loggains, Tarik Cohen and others to tell some of the key stories from rookie minicamp.
