The Bears got their first real look at their rookie class Sunday — most of it, anyway — in the preseason opener against the Dolphins, and it was a promising progress report.

They played against backups most of the game, which ended in a 24-24 tie, so there’s only so much that can be extracted from that. Sure rookie left tackle Ozzy Trapilo can manage the Dolphins’ second- and third-stringers, but how would he do against Pro Bowl pass rushers like the Vikings’ Jonathan Greenard and the Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson the first two weeks of the season?
