Week 2 of the NFL preseason kicks off tonight with a battle between the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have a few notable inactive players. Drew Lock, who was slated to start as Seattle continues their quarterback battle, won’t be able to compete against Geno Smith because he tested positive for COVID-19. Also missing is rookie running back Kenneth Walker III, who is struggling with a hernia problem.
For Chicago, the offensive line will be looking to bounce back from its performance against the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend. The line allowed a total of five sacks, but quarterbacks found some success. Justin Fields completed 4 of 7 passes for 48 yards in limited action and had some great plays. Trevor Siemian had a solid outing, as he threw two touchdowns to spark Chicago’s second-half run that put the Bears in the win column. Keep an eye out for the safety of rookie Jaquan Brisker, who fans are excited about after his first exhibition performance.
