Week 2 of the NFL preseason kicks off tonight with a battle between the Chicago Bears and the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have a couple of notable players inactive. Drew Lock, who was slated to start as Seattle continues its quarterback battle, will not be able to compete against Geno Smith after testing positive for COVID-19. Rookie running back Kenneth Walker III is also out as he has a hernia problem.
For Chicago, the offensive line will look to bounce back from its performance against the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend. The line allowed a total of five sacks, but the quarterbacks found some success. Justin Fields completed 4-of-7 passes for 48 yards in limited action and had a couple of nice completions. Trevor Siemian had a solid outing as he threw two touchdowns to spark Chicago’s second half that put the Bears in the win column. Keep an eye on rookie safety Jaquan Brisker, who fans are excited about after his first showing.
It’s Thursday night lights between two NFC opponents. Follow along on the live blog below as we continue to walk through the preseason.
