This is the Unlocked Chicago Bears Report for August 28th. We wanted to bring you what is happening in Chicago before their final preseason game with the Tennessee Titans. Let us know if you enjoyed this report for the Bears and if you want to see any other teams.
Titans vs Bears Practice Fallout
Titans vs Bears joint practice turned ugly when former Titan Xavier Woods delivered a brutal hit on WanDale Robinson. This sparked a full-blown scuffle as Titans players stormed the field to defend their teammates. It was called “cheap” and said it felt like a real game. With Robinson sidelined for concussion protocol and roster cuts looming, the Titans are primed to make a statement in their final preseason clash. However, I just don’t see it happening. — August 28th
Sean McDermott’s Chicago Visit Sparks Buzz
Sean McDermott is the defensive genius who turned Buffalo’s defense into a top-tier unit for years. He was spotted at the Chicago Bears/Tennessee Titans joint practice. It was courtesy of Bears’ Coach Ben Johnson. While no official connection exists yet, the move has fans buzzing about a potential reunion in Chicago. McDermott’s track record speaks for itself. He transformed Carolina’s defense from worst to second-best in just two seasons. They consistently ranked among the league’s best during his nine-year run in Buffalo. Although, he took the fall for the team’s overall struggles. With his coaching pedigree and proven ability to elevate defenses, any team lucky enough to land him (even in an advisory role) could be setting itself up for serious contention. — August 28th
The Unlocked Chicago Bears Report: Defensive Line Injury Update
The Bears face injury hurdles as key defensive linemen Austin Booker and Gervon Dexter Sr. sit out preseason. But they are gaining a boost with All-Pro tackle Darnell Wright returning to practice. Booker’s groin and Dexter’s hamstring injuries leave their Week One availability uncertain. Check back with The Unlocked Chicago Bears Report for updates. — August 28th
Safety Puzzle Before Season
Chicago are racing against the clock to finalize their starting lineup, especially at left tackle and safety. These two positions could make or break their season. After last year’s frantic six-day scramble to name a starter, they’re hoping to smoother waters this time with Braxton Jones. He looks like the frontrunner at tackle. But at safety, uncertainty reigns. Rookie Dillon Thieneman shows flashes of potential, but his partner remains unconfirmed. Head Coach Ben Johnson knows what worked last year a stable, interception-heavy duo led by Byard. — August 28th
Caleb Williams Learns from San Antonio Spurs
Caleb Williams is turning to the old San Antonio Spurs for inspiration as he leads the Bears toward a championship culture, emphasizing team chemistry, small celebrations, and locker room energy that fuels clutch performances. Drawing from Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili’s legacy of unity and shared joy. Williams believes these moments build unshakeable bonds. With a strong second season under his belt and the Bears aiming for back-to-back NFC North titles, Williams isn’t just chasing stats. He’s building a team that thrives together. — August 28th
Offense Shines Defense Struggles
The offense dazzled in their final preseason joint practice with Caleb Williams throwing touchdowns and backup QBs stepping up. However, the defense struggled especially against rookie Carnell Tate. While key cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson exited with injuries. Rookie safety Dillion Thieneman impressed Coach Johnson as a potential starter. It would leave the free safety open for Cam Lewis, Skylar Thomas, or Xavier Woods. The injury woes at cornerback are a major concern, especially with Malik Muhammad shifting roles. — August 28th
