The Chicago Bears kicked off the preseason with a 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, which saw some impressive performances from players looking to earn a spot on the roster.
After trailing 10-0 in the first quarter, the Bears scored 34 unanswered points en route to a dominating victory that featured impressive showings in all three phases of action. With most of the starters resting, the stage was set for under-the-radar players to showcase their talents and make it difficult on general manager Ryan Poles when it comes to making roster decisions.
Following Saturday's preseason opener, here are the roster bubble players who made a strong case for a spot on the 53-man roster.
Defensive end Jamree Kromah had a monster day on defense, where he showcased his impressive power off the edge and pressuring the quarterback against the Browns. Kromah had two of Chicago's three sacks on the day, and he could have had more, while adding six tackles, including three tackles for loss and two quarterback hits. One of those sacks was a strip sack of starting quarterback Deshaun Watson on fourth-and-2. Kromah was consistently generating pressure and getting in the backfield.
Wide receiver Kaden Davis had been a standout in training camp, and it translated to the field in Chicago's preseason opener. Davis showcased his playmaking ability and led the Bears with four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown in first-half action with quarterback Tyson Bagent. Davis continues to make a strong statement for a roster spot in a loaded receivers room.
