Bears Preseason Week 2: Highlights and Lowlights
The Chicago Bears played against the Cincinnati Bengals in their second preseason game, which ended in a loss. Despite the defeat, several players managed to enhance their chances of making the final roster.
Jordan van den Berg, a rookie defensive tackle, was a standout performer, achieving an impressive pass rushing grade and contributing significantly on defense. In contrast, Braxton Jones, who was expected to secure the left tackle position, struggled with a low pass blocking grade and failed to capitalize on his opportunity.
On the defensive side, Dayo Odeyingbo emerged as a key edge rusher, while Dontae Manning faced challenges in coverage, allowing multiple touchdowns. Rookie tight end Sam Roush demonstrated potential in the passing game, and Skyler Thomas excelled as a safety, making a strong case for a roster spot. The Bears continue to evaluate their players as they approach the final preseason game.
