Picking the Bears’ 53-man roster — and ranking each position group
Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times
Bears quarterback Justin Fields and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson leave the field Saturday.Ranking the Bears’ position groups — and predicting every member of the 53-man roster — as the team prepares to whittle its roster down by the Tuesday deadline:
1. Safety (3 keepers)
They’ll make the team: Eddie Jackson, Jaquan Brisker, Elijah Hicks
Closing argument: Rookie Kendall Williamson played 52% of Saturday’s special teams snaps, forcing a fumble on punt coverage.
The big question: Will Jackson and Brisker miss a beat? The two are hurt but expected to return by Week 1. Brisker didn’t play a single exhibition snap, while Jackson played 12, all in the first game.
