The Bears have dealt with injuries at receiver, which has allowed guys like Tajae Sharpe and Dazz Newsome opportunities to shine.
The Bears are still trying to right their ship from the Matt Nagy era, but Matt Eberflus is entering his first season as their head coach with a quarterback in place. Justin Fields, drafted last season, was a popular media darling heading into the 2021 NFL Draft, but he struggled as a rookie. Fields, of course, had a myriad of factors working against him.
The Chicago Bears showed promising signs in their preseason opener Saturday, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 19-14 at Soldier Field as a handful of young players stepped up and played with the competitive edge coach Matt Eberflus is seeking. Another test awaits Thursday night at Lumen Field with the Seattle Seahawks welcoming the Bears for a nationally televised game (7 p.m. ESPN).
