Who's going to win the battle to be the Chicago Bears’ WR2? FrontOffice33 | DaBears
So those are the contenders for Chicago’s WR2 spot in 2022: Pringle, St. Brown, Jones, and Harry. Unfortunately for the Bears, Harry, Pringle, and Jones have all suffered injuries in training camp. Harry’s ankle injury is reportedly the most severe, but Pringle so far has not gotten a timetable for return from his quad injury and Jones is still day-to-day with an unspecified injury.
At the same time, St. Brown, the one healthy newcomer at the position, doesn’t really seem like he’s clearly in the running to step into the No. 2 receiver spot, even despite all the injuries. In three years with the Packers—not including the entirety of the 2019 season he missed due to an ankle injury of his own—St. Brown recorded just 543 yards on 37 catches and a single touchdown.and St.
It feels like Pringle gets the early edge thanks to his veteran status and the potential he seems to have despite being buried on the depth chart behind Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman in Kansas City. That’s the key word: potential. If Pringle is able to get more reps as a starter in 2022 and run with them, he could absolutely lock himself into the No. 2 receiver role behind Mooney. He’s got the tools—he’s got a 4.
On the other hand, Jones provides more excitement as the third-round-rookie foil to Pringle’s labels as a former undrafted free agent and more veteran player. Jones stood out at Tennessee primarily as a slot receiver who excelled with his great speed and the ability to create yardage after the catch. He has good hands and an ability to separate from defenders with his speed, though he does need to work on his route-running skills at the pro level.
For now, Pringle seems to have the upper hand as the more proven, veteran commodity that has the potential to break out for the Bears with more reps as a starter. Jones has more to prove as the rookie coming in, so Pringle should have a better chance at being Fields’ guy behind Mooney. That said, if Pringle’s injury is more serious than we’ve been led to believe thus far, Jones will have the chance to step up and take over if he can show off his big-play tools early and often in Chicago.
