NFL teams are preparing to reduce their lists to 53 players on Tuesday’s deadline, and there is a lot of important decision for the Chicago Bears TO DO.
There was a lot of activity this offseason like the Bear I tried to revise the list, not only to improve talent, but to find adjustments with this new coach staff led by head coach Ben Johnson and the defensive coordinator Dennis Allen.

Having only three pre-season games and a training camp to assess the whole list, there have been off-procurer this year, especially in the last two games when the Bears excluded the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago and scored 19 unanswered points to defeat the Jut of Kansas City chiefs a few days ago.
The injuries that create holes in certain positions can lead to surprising names that are left out, but there are names that stand out above the others that have won their place this season. Here is an overview of five players who deserve a place on the initial list of 53 men from the Bears.
Wr Jahdae Walker

Jahdae Walker almost sealed his alignment place when he caught the pass of the victorious touch against the chiefs in the pre-season final. Walker started the pre-season by being the main receiver of the team (three receptions, 41 yards, a hit) during the opening match against the Miami dolphins, then crowned the team’s victory over Kansas City to close the pre-season. It can very well be the sixth wide receiver on the depth board, but Walker produced when he had the opportunity, so he should be on the list.

Ol Luke Newman

Luke Newman saw a significant action with the starters at the left guard while the veteran All-Pro Joe Thune has rested this pre-season, and he played well while also showing versatility to play the position of the right guard. Newman’s place on this list may not be so surprising for his game, but the choice of sixth round could force the team to go from the choice of the third round, Kiran Amegadjie. With Theo Benedet and Ozzy Trapilo planning to be the best rescue plated, the versatility and the production of Newman could see the Bears interrup their plans with Amegadjie who had a difficult route since he entered the League.
Edge Daniel Hardy

Daniel Hardy will probably be the largest beneficiary of the injury to Austin Booker, who was on fire this pre-season. Hardy, who has a bag and a forced escape this pre-season, was congratulated by head coach Ben Johnson for his performance against the chiefs, who included a bag of band so that his last impression could be sustainable. Hardy could be one of the last on-board rushers to make the list, but it is difficult to bet against his chances after listening to his praise coach.

CB NAHSHON WRIGHT

With Jaylon Johnson who treated an injury throughout the pre-season, the emphasis was put on the position battle for the second outside corner point. Tyrique Stevenson fought with Nahshon Wright for the post, and Wright could have his possibility due to the end of the season injury suffered by Terrell Smith. Wright becomes familiar with the defensive back coach Al Harris, and this should help him develop his role in secondary over the season.
RB Kyle Monangai

The inclusion of Kyle Monangai on this list is a credit at work that he has shown in limited opportunities, and he can just put himself higher on the depth table than expected. Monangai is a choice of seventh round of this year’s draft, and with Roschon Johnson fighting against a foot injury and Travis Homer unable to have a major impact, Monangai could leave the pre-season as the best backup of the team behind the veteran of Andre Swift. Monangai received numerous praise from the recruit of Minicamp during the pre-season, and although most of the seventh round choices have a difficult battle to make the list, Monangai may have done more than this year, he could have a real recruit role.
