70 days till Bears season opener: Every player to wear No. 70 for Chicago

The Chicago Bears will kick off their 2023 regular season against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 10, which is now 70 days away.

From now until the start of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by revisiting the players who have worn that specific jersey number.

No. 70 is currently worn by left tackle Braxton Jones, who’s entering his second season. But there have been some memorable players to don the number, including Herman Lee and Dennis Lick.

With 70 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to ever wear No. 70 for the Bears (via Pro Football Reference):
