Windy City Gridiron
The second joint practice went off Friday ahead of the Sunday night preseason game between the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills.
Things are turning up for teams as we enter the final 30 days ahead of the regular season.
With Caleb Williams and the starters playing against the Bills, the practice loses maybe a little bit of its luster but every rep matters.
To start off, Ben Johnson said in his pre-practice press conference that there needs to be clarity in the left tackle battle and says Theo Benedet is truly in the now three-man battle.
Once practice started and the tweets began to fly, there was no clarity either. All of the LTs struggled today at different points, as you’ll see below.
The Bears did get second-round pick Shermar Stewart back. He practiced for the first time since the opening practice of camp when he injured his ankle.
Case Keenum, who exited practice yesterday, was missing from today’s joint session. He’s day-to-day with a leg injury per post-practice reports.
Caleb Williams seemed to have a good day, at least in terms of execution. But there were still many flags and false starts for the unit as a whole. If it helps any, the Bills seemed to have their fair share of penalties, too.
