Bars signed with the

Bars played in five games during his rookie season.[13]

Bars made his first career start on November 8, 2020, in a 17–24 loss to the

center despite having never played the position and playing all 77 of the Bears' offensive snaps.[14] Bars played in all 16 regular season games and started the last eight with one start at center, one start at left guard and six starts at right guard.[15] He signed a contract extension with the team on March 3, 2021.[16]

Bars was elevated to the active roster on September 17, 2022, for the week 2' game against the Arizona Cardinals[20] and on September 24, 2022, for the week 3' game against the Tennessee Titans[21] and on both cases was then reverted to the practice squad the next day.
