Nothing ever comes easily to the Bears, so it’ll likely take a lot for them to beat the Panthers on Thursday at Soldier Field. They’ll start undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent again as they wait for Justin Fields to recover from a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand.
The game is huge for the Bears, who own the Panthers’ upcoming first-round pick thanks to the trade they made this year when the Bears moved out of the No. 1 overall pick. The Panthers currently are slotted for the No. 2 selection in 2024.
