Garrett Bradbury: Everything you need to know

The Patriots are trading Bradbury to the Bears in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick, Dianna reports. Bradbury joined the Patriots on a two-year, $9.5 million contract in March of 2025 after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Vikings, but the 2019 first-rounder will head back to the NFC North as a member of the Bears. He has started in all 105 regular-season games he's appeared in and is slated to serve as the Bears' starting center for 2026 following the retirement of Drew Dalman on Tuesday.

Bradbury (illness) is active for Monday night's game against the Giants. Bradbury was uncertain to play after he was a late addition to the injury report Monday due to an illness, but he now appears to be good to go. He'll operate in his typical starting role at center versus New York.

The Patriots added Bradbury (illness) to the injury report ahead of Monday night's game against the Giants, listing him as questionable, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. New England will already be without starting LT Will Campbell (knee) and LG Jared Wilson (ankle), so losing Bradbury would be a crucial blow ahead of a date with the Giants' tenacious defensive front. Ben Brown would likely draw the start at center if Bradbury is unable to play.
