With the Bears’ starters sitting Saturday, undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent stole the show and made a case for one of the final roster spots.
He only got two series of work, but his 9 minutes on the Lucas Oil turf said something about the Bears' quarterback depth chart after Justin Fields.As has been the case for all of training camp, Bears backup quarterback P.J. Walker was ineffective and inaccurate Saturday. Walker played two series, going 1-for-4 for 6 yards.
Is there a backup quarterback controversy brewing in Chicago? There's a case to be made that the high-upside UDFA who led a 92-yard drive Saturday deserves that spot.With all of the veteran starters except for Sanborn sitting Saturday, the Bears' defensive rookies had an opportunity to showcase their growth and make some splash plays.
It wasn't all good for Dexter and Pickens, though. On the Colts' first touchdown drive, both rookies had trouble getting off their blocks on third-and-goal, giving Minshew time to survey and eventually hit Juwann Winfree for a touchdown. Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson had another eventful game. The Miami product gave up a few early catches and then crossed the line when he threw running back Kenyan Drake out of bounds. Head coach Matt Eberflus took the rookie out after the penalty and gave him a long talk. After the discussion ended, Eberflus sent Stevenson back in.
Both Trevis Gipson and Terrell Lewis had good days in the preseason opener against the Titans' second- and third-string offensive line.Late in the second quarter, Lewis came screaming around the left side and hammered Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger, jarring the ball loose in the process. The Colts recovered the fumble, but it was Lewis' second strip sack of the preseason. On the next play, Gipson beat his man to pressure Ehlinger and force an incompletion.
On the other side of the ball, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis had an opportunity to make their case.
