Roquan Smith unlikely to make debut against Chiefs
You won’t know whether Roquan Smith is officially playing or not playing against the Chiefs in the all-important third preseason game this Saturday until close to game time. That’s because the Bears prefer it that way. Given a light practice week due to a suffered tight hamstring, and Matt Nagy’s evolving stance throughout the week: don’t be unsurprised if Chicago’s No. 8 overall pick’s debut is held off, though.
According to a report from Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Bears head coach Matt Nagy sounded as non-committal as possible in officially ruling Smith out for Saturday. The 21-year-old rookie has been dealing with hamstring tightness since Tuesday.
