Overview

• Coach Ben Johnson signaled that the left-tackle contest may stretch into the regular season after rotating reps among Theo Benedet, Braxton Jones and Ozzy Trapilo failed to deliver a definitive starter.
• The Bears defense forced multiple turnovers against Josh Allen, including interceptions by Kevin Byard and Tremaine Edmunds, validating recent defensive progress.
• Rookie QB Caleb Williams continued to build rapport with Rome Odunze, targeting him frequently and connecting on red-zone strikes during situational drills.
• Offensive-line discipline issues persisted as pre-snap penalties and false starts undermined drives and heightened protection concerns.
• Buffalo practiced at full strength with left tackle Dion Dawkins and edge rusher Joey Bosa, whose multiple sacks raised the bar for Chicago’s pass protection tests.
