It will be a good test for the young Bears players this week, as they need to recover quickly from Saturday’s game and travel to Seattle on Wednesday for Thursday night’s preseason game.
This means two days of practice and, if you’re lucky, a walkthrough before heading west.
The first game took the spotlight when a few players tried to join the roster battle.
Although the coach saw many players in action for the first time, the landscape may have changed slightly as a result of that game film. Some players may spawn holding slightly higher or lower stats.
A three-game preseason hits the middle part of the schedule when the Bears resume a short stint on Monday, so who and what to watch out for.
1. injury
None of the Bears’ three players injured in Saturday’s game are starters, but they would halt the player’s efforts to earn a roster spot or more playing time. Cornerback Jason Stanley (knee), defensive back Michael Joseph (hamstring) and linebacker Javin White (knee) have injuries, but they’re not a major concern for the Bears’ injuries this week.
Getting back cornerbacks Kyler Gordon, Thavon Young, Kindle Wildor, the first three tight ends and receiver Belles Jones Jr. is a priority.
All remain a mystery, as the Bears do not disclose the nature of short-term or so-called day-to-day injuries during training camp. N’Keal Harry. Neither Pringle nor Harry will be back anytime soon.
What’s really interesting is when Stanley, Joseph, and White go about their daily lives with their injuries. The Bears have revealed they were injured during the game, but if those players are just doing day-to-day training, he should only provide information on long-term injuries during camps and preseason. His coach Matt’s policy that he must go against Everflus.
2. Trevon Corey
He looked like a beast with two sacks and one pass as he contributed to the third-team defense that overwhelmed Kansas City. Who else is here but a journeyman defensive lineman? Will he be the one who helps the Bears provide depth in a position they desperately need? After starting 29 games for Cleveland in 2018 and 2018, he was cut when the Everflus were in Indianapolis and signed with the Colts practice team. After his one-year contract with the Colts expired, he appeared in six games in 2020, starting two games for the Cardinals. The Titans signed him to a contract last year, but an injury to his leg during the preseason kept him on the injured reserve list for the rest of the year. In his 44-game career, he has only one less sack (3 and 1/2) than the Bears, where Justin Jones started his three techniques in 51 games.
3. Jakan Brisker
The Bears may want to cut his playing time next game. i want to keep him healthy. Brisker came out in the second quarter as he scored big hits on short his pass for tackle, pass his breakup, nearly interception, and tackle for loss on the run his play. .
Manager Matt Everfuls said, “I think he needed a tackle, a way to deflect the ball, a takeaway or two, but he had a lot of energy and he loved to hit.” “So I really liked his aggressive style, the way he’s playing now.”
4. Offensive Line Shuffle
They’ve watched the game to see how linemen react to live pass rushers and tacklers. Until early last week, it was a different line of attack almost every day as we mixed and matched combinations. Will they be happy with rookie Braxton Jones’ left tackle and Riley Leaf’s right tackle? was on the field for many plays, so they took a long look at Kramer. That was his 73% of regeneration. Teven Jenkins was his third most out of linemen with 55% (36) and Larry borom was his 53% (35) he was fourth.
By the second preseason game, you might think they’d start settling in with one unit instead of shuffling, but at this point it’s probably been going on longer than anyone thought.

5. Trestan Ebner
An injury to David Montgomery allowed Ebner to get a little more playing time, giving him the advantage in open-field movement and touchdown catches. He had 31 yards on 6 rushes and 12 TD catches. Will he continue to be extended?
“I think he’s very competitive,” Everflus said. “He likes the lights on and you can actually see him racing. He’s a strong runner and obviously has a lot of speed, so he turns the lights on and goes through the corners. Or you can take distance. So we’re excited to see where he is. And his block, he’s doing a better job. Yards for us in the game.”
6. Trenton Gill
When the Bears drafted a seventh-round punter to replace veteran Pat O’Donnell, it appeared to be a questionable move or simply preparing to sign the veteran punter after a final roster cut. . Gill was impressed by his good hang time on punts in camp, which he achieved in Saturday’s game. He put the ball down so the Chiefs would start the drive at his 5- and 12-yard lines on his 3-yard line. Last year, one of the issues O’Donnell had was his time hanging. This, combined with his lack of coverage, allowed the Bears to limit punt return yards to him 11.03 yards per return, ranking him 30th in the league. He only won two teams last season, so if he averages 5.8 yards in the regular season, they must be happy. As Eberflus likes to point out, it’s the hidden yardage, and every yard counts.
7. Dante Pettis
The first, Taje Sharpe, came out of a stint on the non-football injury list and climbed the ladder due to injuries to become the third available receiver. Veteran Dante Pettis was injured but made a surprise run into the game, opening up for a 25-yard reception and in tricky winds he fielded one punt to make his catch fair. achieved. Will he be the next member of the refugee acceptance group led by Ryan Pauls?Bells, much depends on whether his Jones returns from injury this week.
8. Daily Drama
In the final incident in contract extension talks with Rocwan Smith, Pro Football Talk reported that an unauthorized person had contacted an NFL team seeking to trade Smith. If not, this could lead to tampering charges on the team if he speaks to someone. didn’t see Anyone digging holes or compromising this week, will there be a breakthrough? The Bears can fine Smith for the missed practice. Will they?
