Many spots on the Chicago Bears‘ 53-man roster for the 2015 season are already set in stone, but there are a handful of spots that will be up for grabs later this summer.

The team held a handful of different minicamp and OTA sessions earlier this offseason, but the team is currently on hiatus until it reports to training camp later this month. Head coach John Fox has been with the team for a few months, but he likes the direction the team is heading.

“I think we’ve made progress,” Fox said, according to Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com. “We’re by no means there yet. We’ve made a lot of changes, upstairs, downstairs, throughout the building. I think the guys have responded well. Guys have bought in and worked hard and that’s all I can ask.”

Much of the focus later this month and into August will center around big-name players with impressive college and NFL backgrounds, but there are a handful of dark-horse candidates who could make the roster out of training camp.

Who is a dark-horse candidate to make the 53-man roster in 2015? We explore that ahead.
