Summary

Kenneth Davis and Alex Shapiro dive into the Chicago Bears' final preseason game against the Chiefs, highlighting standout performances and discussing crucial roster decisions. They analyze the depth Ryan Poles and Ian Cunningham have built (4:47), tackle the tight end logjam (7:00), and debate which wide receivers will make the cut (10:31). The biggest question remains: What should the Bears do with Velus Jones? (14:00). Plus, updates on the offensive line, including Larry Borom's injury (22:27), and whether cornerback Reddy Stewart's dominant performance secures him a spot (32:52). The episode wraps up with breaking news on the Bears' trade for linebacker Darrell Taylor from the Seahawks (43:20).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
