Entering the final preseason game, Brendan Sugrue gives his final predictions for the Bears' 53-man roster.

As the Chicago Bears prepare to face the Tennessee Titans in the final preseason game of the day, fans will be watching closely to see which players make the 53-man roster. The Bears' final roster projection includes three quarterbacks: Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, and Case Keenum. In the running back position, the decision between Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed is a close one, with both players securing a spot on the team.

The wide receiver position sees a final choice between Kaden Davis and Maurice Alexander, with Davis making the cut due to his speed and special team contributions. The tight end group consists of Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, and Sam Roush, with Hayden Large possibly joining from the practice squad. The offensive line features 10 players, including Braxton Jones, Joe Thuney, and Jonah Jackson.

On defense, Montez Sweat, Grady Jarrett, and Gervon Dexter lead the lineup, with a few cuts made to the practice squad. Linebackers Devin Bush, D Marco Jackson, T.J. Edwards, and Keyshaun Elliott round out the final roster, with Noah Sewell on the PUP list. The cornerbacks and safeties have a mix of veterans and rookies, with Terell Smith and Elijah Hicks securing their spots.

The specialists include Cairo Santos, Tory Taylor, and Beau Gardner, with Beau Gardner earning the long snapper position.
