What happened: Raymond drew public praise Saturday centered on his work habits. The veteran receiver has already surfaced in several recent Bears offensive highlights, including a 41-yard touchdown on Sept. 28.

Why it matters: For a 10th-year player, that kind of attention can reinforce his place in the weekly offensive mix as roles keep evolving during the season. Raymond's recent involvement gives the praise a little more context than a generic early-season shoutout.

By the numbers: Recent social posts tied to Raymond's 2026 production list three game lines: 8 catches for 84 yards, 5 catches for 40 yards, and 6 catches for 90 yards with a touchdown. That adds up to 19 catches for 214 yards and one score across those three outings.

What to watch: Watch whether Raymond keeps seeing deep-shot and chunk-play usage in the next game. Another productive week would turn the praise into a more tangible early-season trend.
