Preseason Finale: Bears' Backup QB Banged Up as Titans Visit

Read the full recap →

The Chicago Bears host Tennessee on Friday, August 28, with backup quarterback Tyson Bagent nursing a hamstring injury and Chicago's defensive backfield still sorting out its final roster spots. Tennessee arrives as one of the healthiest teams in the league heading into cuts, giving the Titans a cleaner evaluation picture in this finale.

Bagent's hamstring clouds Chicago's QB2 picture

With Caleb Williams expected to sit, Bagent's health becomes a real question for how the Bears close out their quarterback evaluations.

Bears' secondary bubble battle continues

Several defensive backs are still fighting for the final roster spots heading into this finale.

Tennessee enters uniquely healthy

Being reported as the league's healthiest team gives the Titans a more stable rotation to work with in this game.

Chicago's banged-up QB2 is a real disadvantage

Bagent's hamstring issue leaves the Bears with more uncertainty at quarterback than they'd like heading into this finale.

Tennessee's health advantage stands out

Being the league's healthiest team gives the Titans a fuller, more rested roster to draw from.

Chicago's secondary battle adds further uncertainty

An unsettled defensive backfield makes it harder to predict how the Bears' pass defense performs in this game.

This is a preseason exhibition finale. Tennessee's unusual full-roster health advantage is the deciding factor, though confidence stays low given the backup-driven nature of both rosters.
