Which Chicago Bears players helped their 53-Man roster chances the most against the Bengals? The WCG crew weighs in here.

5 Bears who helped their roster chances the most against the Bengals

The Chicago Bears had several intriguing roster battles during their preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. According to the team members' assessment, the following players helped their chances of making the 53-Man roster the most:

1. Salvon Ahmed, the running back, secured the RB3 spot. Despite Roschon Johnson receiving numerous opportunities, Ahmed's consistent performance has him projected as the third running back on the team.

2. Kaden Davis, a versatile wide receiver, showed his worth in both rushing plays and special teams actions. With his usage in the passing game and an increase in special teams snaps, Davis has solidified his chances of making the roster, particularly as the sixth wide receiver.

3. James Lynch, the running back, continues to impress with his presence in the backfield. Although he hasn't yet recorded a sack, his performance has earned him a spot on the roster.

4. James Lynch's teammate, Caden Barnett, has proven himself as an interior offensive lineman. His performance has moved him ahead of Scottie Miller in the projection for the sixth offensive line position.

5. Jordan van den Berg, a defensive tackle, not only secured his roster spot with a solid performance against the Bengals but is also setting himself up for substantial playing time in the rotational lineup at defensive tackle.
