Bears Battle for Key Preseason Roles | NFL News

The Chicago Bears’ preseason opener against the Browns kicks off a high-stakes battle for roster spots, with key position battles heating up. Left tackle is in flux after Braxton Jones’ injury, leaving Jedrick Wills Jr. and Kiran Amegadjie to vie for the starting role—with Ozzy Trapilo’s potential return adding more pressure. At nickelback, Cam Lewis holds the edge but faces stiff competition from Malik Muhammad II, Jaylon Jones, and Josh Blackwell, especially with Kyler Gordon’s status uncertain. On defense, Gervon Dexter Sr. must prove he’s worth his contract as Jordan van den Berg and others challenge for snaps. And at wide receiver, no official WR3 is set, but Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas, and Jahdae Walker are all vying for targets based on performance—not pedigree.
