Brad Biggs: GM Ryan Poles says the Bears are ‘in a much better place’ than a year ago. The roster is improved — and younger.

The Bears have gotten younger as they head into the season opener Sept. 10 against the Green Bay Packers. That’s notable when considering the Bears were the seventh-youngest team in the league at the start of 2022, when they carried 13 rookies into the season.

After two waiver claims Wednesday morning and the signing of slot receiver/punt returner Trent Taylor, the Bears average 25.
