Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Roschon Johnson's roster spot in danger with the Chicago Bears?
Johnson faces a tough battle because newcomer Salvon Ahmed had an impressive preseason opener against Cleveland, including a 49-yard touchdown catch. While Johnson brings value through power running, blocking, and special teams, he's also been dealing with health problems that have hurt his standing.
Who is Kaden Davis and why is he threatening Scotty Miller's spot on the Bears roster?
Kaden Davis is a journeyman receiver most recently from the UFL who has been tearing up practices for weeks. He topped it off with 88 yards in one half against Cleveland, outperforming Miller and putting his roster spot in serious jeopardy.
Who is expected to win the Chicago Bears left tackle job?
Braxton Jones is expected to claim the left tackle job after Jedrick Wills and Kiran Amegadjie both struggled against Cleveland. Theo Benedet is his only remaining competition, but reports from the joint practice with Cincinnati weren't encouraging for him.
Why is Jamree Kromah's roster spot in danger despite having two sacks against Cleveland?
The Bears signing of Marcus Davenport pushed Kromah into a direct battle with Daniel Hardy for the final edge rusher spot. Hardy is considered one of the team's best special teams players, which is a critical factor for players at the bottom of the depth chart.
What is the biggest concern about Ruben Hyppolite making the Chicago Bears final roster?
Hyppolite landed on the injury report with a shoulder problem after his strong game against Cleveland, raising durability concerns since his rookie year also ended early due to injury. He's competing with veteran Jack Sanborn, who is seen as more experienced and durable despite Hyppolite's athletic upside.
