Bears' Sam Roush: Likely set for increased opportunity
Roush is expected to get more work on offense after Cole Kmet (knee) landed on injured reserve Friday.
Roush didn't catch a pass against New England on Thursday, marking his third straight game without a reception. However, he's currently the only healthy tight end on the Bears' roster aside from starter Colston Loveland, so Roush figures to be in line for an expanded role moving forward. With that said, Loveland has logged 57 or more receiving yards and six or more catches three of the past four weeks and is clearly the Bears' go-to tight end in the passing game, so Roush's anticipated increase of offensive snaps doesn't necessarily make him a viable option in fantasy.

Bears' Sam Roush: Logs first catch of NFL career
Roush caught one of three targets for nine yards during the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
The rookie third-rounder did not record a target in the Bears' Week 1 win over the Panthers, but Roush hauled in a nine-yard pass from Caleb Williams (hamstring) late in the third quarter for the former's first NFL catch. Roush is firmly behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet on the depth chart, although those three tight ends, along with the other Bears pass catchers, will all see their scoring floors lowered if Case Keenum is the starting quarterback against the Eagles in Week 3 if Williams and Tyson Bagent (concussion) are both unable to play.

Bears' Sam Roush: Solid gain on one catch
Roush brought in one of two targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 24-15 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday.
The rookie tight end's one catch was especially timely, as it came on fourth down during the Bears' second possession. Roush wrapped up his first pro preseason with a 5-64-0 line on eight targets across three games, and he'll now head into the regular season with a seemingly locked-in No. 3 role behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet.

Bears' Sam Roush: Pair of grabs in preseason loss
Roush brought in two of three targets for 30 yards in the Bears' 27-9 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
The rookie third-round pick came into the game following Colston Loveland and recorded his first catch, a 26-yard grab on first down, late in the first quarter on a pass from Case Keenum. Roush appears slated to open the regular season No. 3 on the tight-end depth chart behind Loveland and Cole Kmet, but given the pass-catching proficiency he displayed in his last three college seasons, the first-year talent could progressively carve out a solid complementary role.

Bears' Sam Roush: Signs rookie deal with Bears
The Bears have signed Roush to a four-year, $7.35 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Bears thought highly enough of Roush to take the Stanford product in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 69th overall. However, as a rookie, the 6-foot-6, 267 pounder's path to steady targets isn't apparent while working in an offense that returns TEs Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet.

Bears' Sam Roush: Picked by Bears
The Bears selected Roush in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 69th overall.
Roush (6-foot-6, 267 pounds) is a massive tight end and moves well for his build (4.7-second 40-yard dash, 38.5-inch vertical, 126-inch broad jump), but his short arms (30 and 5/8 inches) were a hindrance and a plausible explanation for his poor pass-catching production at Stanford. Athletic as he is, Roush projects more as a blocker than a receiver at the NFL level, and that's even before you account for the fact that Colston Loveland is obviously the featured pass-catching tight end for Chicago's indefinite future.
