7 takeaways from Bears preseason win over Browns

1. The Bears' preseason victory over the Cleveland Browns was marked by minimal injuries. Xavier Woods, the most concerning injury, suffered a groin issue and did not return to the game. Other reserves also faced injuries, but overall, the Bears had few significant setbacks.

2. Kiran Amegadjie outperformed Jedrick Wills for the left tackle position. Amegadjie started the game and performed well throughout, while Wills struggled, particularly in the second quarter when he was slow to react to an offensive play, resulting in a sack.

3. The Bears showcased depth at the wide receiver position with five receivers recording over 30 receiving yards. Kaden Davis led the team with four catches for 88 yards, while Ray-Ray McCloud added 63 yards on three receptions. Maurice Alexander and Scotty Miller also contributed significantly, highlighting the depth of this group for the upcoming regular season.

4. The defensive line made a strong impact, with James Lynch and Jamree Kromah being the standout players. Lynch made several pressures and battles at the line of scrimmage, while Kromah recorded six tackles, three for loss, two quarterback hits, and two sacks, along with stripping the ball from Deshaun Watson.

5. Josh Blackwell's special teams performance was a concern as he struggled to cover the Browns' pass catchers, missing multiple tackles and allowing crucial plays. As a specialized player, Blackwell excels in special teams, but his defensive position could be a challenge for the Bears.

6. Salvon Ahmed demonstrated his value as a running back, carrying the ball twice for 17 yards and catching three passes for 55 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown screen in the third quarter. Ahmed's return to action after injuries could solidify the backup duo alongside D Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, providing valuable depth to the team.
