There was a preseason game last night as the Chicago Bears dropped the Tennessee Titans 24 to 15, but they will also announce their initial 53-man roster around 5 pm (CT). So we’ll cover both the 53-man roster and recap how the preseason/offseason helped shape it in our latest Bear & Balanced.
Some topics we’ll discuss.
How do you feel about the Gervon Dexter Sr. trade?
Who were the surprise cuts?
Who will make it back to the practice squad?
What did the Bears get right or wrong on the initial 53?
Plus,
we’ll work our way through our usual categories, but with a twist!
Check out JB and me on our latest Bear & Balanced right here (or on YouTube), live at 5:30 p.m. CT, as we talk through Chicago’s preseason and get into some 53-man roster discussion.

Here’s our usual bullet-point outline for Bear & Balanced, which we’ll tweak for this special 53-Man Roster version.
- Intro: We’ll both share some general thoughts about the game.
- Trench Tribute: This is our weekly pick for the best Bears lineman.
- Sweet Tweets: We’re both active on social media — so be sure you’re all following us at @gridironborn & @wiltfongjr — and we highlight one Twitter interaction/Tweet each week. We’re both also on Bluesky here and here.
- Caught up in a numbers game: This segment features one number or statistic from the game that we found interesting.
- The Caleb Corner: No Caleb Williams yesterday, so we’ll talk about the other quarterbacks before we take our commercial break.
- The 3 Bears: You all know the story of the Three Bears, don’t you? In this porridge-themed portion of the show, we give our picks for the Bear that was hot, the Bear that was cold, and the Bear that was just right in the game against the Titans.
