So I just did a Google search for the 2022 score football card checklist. The 2 articles I found, that had a checklist with it, both lists had no Bears veterans on the checklists at all. It had 3 rookies but no veterans. I hope both checklists were wrong. If not, that's ridiculous! I know it hasn't quite been released yet, so maybe the early checklist released by Panini is completely wrong.

Oh cool, I hadn't realized that '22 Score was going to be released soon since it's a product I look forward to every year when it features rookies in their college uniforms (which I realize not everyone loves). I don't know for sure, but if it makes you feel any better the early checklists we see from Panini are often incorrect in multiple ways, usually in terms of numbering, but I hope that's the case for your Bears as well. I can't imagine they'd be left out especially when the set is as large as it usually is.

This reminds me of when I first started collecting in the late 70s/early 80s. I was a huge Packers fan and was always miffed when my Packers checklist would be like 8 cards (2 of which were Chester Marcol and Dave Beverly) and a team like the Cowboys would have 2-3X as many cards. Sure my Packers weren't great but I still wanted them to have more than 8 of the 528 cards in the set.
Some day your Bears may be good enough to warrant a card in the set.
Signed, A Packers Fan.

The checklist on Beckett's website is showing the same amount of Bears.

Cardboard Connection posted an "early" checklist a couple days ago then quickly updated it to a fuller checklist with all the veterans. It should be the correct checklist (I hope). I collect Washington and Wentz is still listed on the Colts, so things may still change when cards start trickling out (Wentz is pictured with Colts but listed as Commanders on his Prestige and Legacy cards).
I love the Score set and glad to see it move away from its early release date to include rookies in NFL uniforms (I hope) or at least with their correct NFL teams. Last year I did a full rainbow for Chase Young but might hold off on doing so this year, the parallels continue to go out of control.

Have you seen any of the RC's? It wouldn't be unsurprising that they are still in college units. Panini didn't push the release so they'd be in pro unis, this was still supposed to be released in July. It may be that the cards were printed long ago and just sitting awaiting distro.
Of course, I could be wrong...

I think on the checklists I was looking at they were at least listed with their pro teams whereas Score usually comes out before the draft so that info isn't available. Of course we're still just speculating based on the possibly incorrect checklists we're looking at.
Still, it would be a massive error to leave out an entire team (aside from RCs) in the base set, so I think there's a decent chance there's some unfinalized checklists floating around. If not, there's gonna be some pretty angry fans (and some happy ones in Wisconsin!).
This somewhat reminds me of how Upper Deck made Kirk Gibson card #666 in '89 because someone at UD didn't like him (I forget the whole story but I'm sure someone else here remembers).
Anyway, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I already saw 2022 Score at a LCS the other day. Just FYI should be showing up in retail soon.

I also saw similar comments about the lack of Bears on the checklist on the Blowout forums. I was also laughing at the obvious absence of the team thanks to this link which lists all of the "set appearances" (base, parallels, inserts, etc.) by team. The Ravens are tops with 620 and outside of the Bears the lowest count is the Vegas version of the Raiders at 333; Chicago is at 140
