NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The day before the Chicago Bears must reduce the roster to 53 players, they used exactly 53 to close out preseason with a 24-15 victory over the Tennessee **** ans on Saturday at Nissan Stadium.
Rookie wide receiver Zavion Thomas had a 97-yard touchdown on the first offensive play from scrimmage when he juked **** ans cornerback Keydrain Calligan with a stutter-and-go and then showcased the blazing speed that might make him the fastest player the Bears have had in some time.
Thomas totaled 140 yards on five catches and had a 39-yard punt return, and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent was supersharp after missing a week of practice, completing 16 of 17 passes for 208 yards and two scores.
And just like that, with most of the team's frontline players wearing ballcaps instead of helmets, it's on to the regular season after the Bears reduce the roster to 53 by 5 p.m. Sunday.
