Jordan Love better than Caleb Williams? Plus... A deep dive into schedule predictions | 1st & North
This week on "1st & North"... one Bears stadium plan has a stinky problem, the NFC North QB rankings are all over the place, the pundits put their record predictions out, and the Packers coach is throwin' em back on stage.
The Chicago Bears made three roster moves on Thursday morning, including the signing of a running back who has connections to the current coaching staff.
What we know:
The Bears announced they have signed running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Anthony Johnson Jr.
Ahmed has been with four teams after going undrafted out of Washington in 2020, but he saw the most production in Miami.
Ahmed ran for 593 yards across his four seasons in Miami, and worked with running backs coach Eric Studesville. The Bears hired Studesville this offseason as their running backs coach.
After he left Miami, Ahmed spent time with the Broncos and Colts' practice squads. In August 2025, Ahmed suffered a severe ankle injury after a hip drop tackle that sidelined him for the rest of the season.
Johnson was a seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2023 out of Iowa State. As a rookie, he played in 12 games with four starts. He recorded an interception and three pass break ups.
Johnson spent time with the New York Giants last season, but missed all the 2025 season with an injury.
The Bears have also waived following running back Deion Hankins.
