This is a nice change of pace considering Ben Johnson sat out all of his starters in the first preseason game against the Dolphins. However, the first-year head coach felt confident that the joint practice the players had with Miami was more than enough for him to evaluate his roster.
Some hype is brewing around this Bears team, as Johnson has all the potential in the world as a head coach. Many believe he can unlock Caleb Williams, as the young quarterback enters his second year in the NFL. His rookie campaign was a bit of a roller coaster, but there is still belief he can be the franchise quarterback Chicago needs.
