Bears vs. Titans Preview, Players to Watch for NFL Preseason – Saturday, August 29

Saturday’s preseason finale marks the final chance for players to make an impression on the coaching staff ahead of roster cuts on Sunday. In addition, starters from both teams may see the field in Saturday’s showdown.

The Bears and Titans competed in a joint practice on Thursday, where the action got very physical. Bears S Xavier Woods hit Titans WR Wan’Dale Robinson up high, and Robinson was injured on the play. Robinson is currently in concussion protocol and likely won’t suit up for Saturday’s contest.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh has confirmed that he plans to play the team’s starters against the Bears. Saleh added that he expected the starters to log about 20 to 25 plays. 

It will mark the final tune-up for QB Cam Ward ahead of Tennessee’s Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets. Ward has completed 13 of 24 passes for 126 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs in two preseason games. Last week, the former No. 1 pick went 8 of 12 for 69 yards and was sacked once against the Seattle Seahawks.

In addition, the battle for the No. 3 RB job is one to keep an eye on in the final preseason game. Saleh previously admitted that RB Tony Pollard and RB Tyjae Spears will handle the majority of the workload, but the third-string job is wide open.

Fifth-round rookie pick Nicholas Singleton is battling the likes of Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter, and D’Ernest Johnson for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart.

Meanwhile, Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn’t confirm whether the team would play their starters on Saturday. QB Caleb Williams and some starters played in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

It’s also worth noting that Williams played in the final preseason contest in 2025. In Week 2 of the 2026 preseason, the Bears QB completed 2 of 5 passes for 28 yards.

Chicago also has a position battle in its backfield, as RBs Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed have been duking it out. Johnson has tallied 20 carries for 76 yards (3.8 yards per carry) in two preseason games, while Ahmed has registered 8 carries for 53 yards (6.6 yards per carry).

It’s possible that both running backs could end up making the team, considering that RB Kyle Monangai is currently dealing with a hyperextended knee injury
