"Sanborn, 25, initially joined the Bears in 2022 as an undrafted free agent. A Lake Zurich native who played collegiately at the University of Wisconsin, Sanborn played 14 games as a rookie (made six starts) and contributed all over the stat sheet. He made 64 total tackles (50 solo), added two sacks, five tackles-for-loss, and three quarterback hits."
"After not being tendered a contract last offseason, Jack Sanborn followed former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus and joined the Dallas Cowboys. But after a brief stint (6 games, 5 starts) in Texas, Sanborn is back in Chicago. That feels right. And for whatever it's worth, the timing is good for both the player and team."
"Bears linebackers T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell will enter the 2026 campaign working their way back from season-ending injuries. So it makes sense for Chicago to bring someone like Sanborn back who has shown an ability to start in a pinch."
Jack Sanborn, a 25-year-old linebacker, has rejoined the Chicago Bears after previously playing for the team from 2022 to 2024. Originally signed as an undrafted free agent from the University of Wisconsin, Sanborn recorded 64 tackles and contributed defensively as a rookie. After losing his starting position to T.J. Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds, he was not tendered a contract and joined the Dallas Cowboys. Following a brief stint with Dallas, Sanborn returns to Chicago. The timing benefits both parties, as Bears linebackers Edwards and Sewell are recovering from season-ending injuries, making Sanborn's proven ability to start valuable for the team's defensive depth.
