Grady Jarrett Returns to Atlanta Seeking Greater Bears Edge

Grady Jarrett returns to Atlanta as a Chicago Bear for the first time after spending 10 seasons with the Falcons, where he became a two-time Pro Bowler and a franchise fixture. After a difficult 2025 debut season in Chicago, Jarrett has started all five games in 2026 and is showing signs of a return to form, contributing interior pressure and leadership. He says he is still seeking to improve and wants the Bears to play with greater edge, effort and competitiveness, particularly after their lopsided loss to Green Bay. Though he values his time in Atlanta, Jarrett is focused on helping Chicago rebound in the matchup.
