I really hope that Shaheen injury isn't as serious as it looked. He was looking really good too.

I bet those all too necessary preseason reps will do Shaheen a bunch of good in 2019. Preseason is such a f***ing joke.

And now the Bears best outside pass rusher (and really their only outside pass rusher) hurt his hand. Awesome.

Trubisky was PISSED at Cohen after that INT.

He had a right, but again, they’re running such vanilla BS that none of this matters. It sucks that Nagy one week is putting down preseason football but he still has Massie, Whitehair, and Miller in with under 2 minutes left in the half tonight. Robinson played 3 snaps. Gabriel didn’t dress. White and Brown played a ton. Cohen had 2-3 touches. They’ll be more creative & consistent by week 1.

If a player is injured 2nd game of the season preseason playing limited snaps, there is no guarantee he won’t be injured first full game of regular season. Young players need their reps especially someone as raw as Shaheen. Injury is a part of the game and could happen any point in the season.

Miller looks like the real deal, and Mitch looks like he really likes throwing to Burton. Looking forward to opening up the playbook and Robinson/Gabriel playing a big part.

floyd needs to not be hurt because this is getting stupid.  They need him to have a big reason 

Rapoport says Shaheen should be fine, could even be back by week 1 (low ankle sprain). No word yet on Floyd

Floyd had surgery to repair two broken fingers. "Optimistic" for week 1

Time to up the trade offers for Khalil Mack.

He should be able to play with a "club." on his hand. The surgery means they had to do an internal fixation so the fracture will be stable. Week one is 3 weeks away. There should be enough of a callus built up by then for the healing to sufficiently started. 

How effectively he can play with the club is a different story.

That's my concern- the club. His hands were rumored to have been stronger and quicker this year. This would somewhat eliminate that improvement for the short term, I'd assume.

Just as I started reading positive stuff on Deiondre (or maybe this is cause effect?)

Yea he had a fantastic camp. Probably why though.

He's having a fantastic camp because he's on a substance of abuse? like what, amphetamines? That's not a PED suspension if it's only 1 game.

Yeah, NFL suspends 4 games for first offenders for PED's.

He was probably on the outside looking in anyways. It appears the Bears favored Carson-Houston and Bush at backup safety.

Redskins sign Adrian Peterson.  Dan Snyder's still got it!

Roquan already hurt his hamstring and week 1 is now in doubt. Yay.

Week 1 is not in doubt. Saturday vs. KC is in doubt. Nagy said if this was the regular season, he would be practicing.

I know it's not serious, but given how little he has practiced so far and that hamstrings come and go, I'm just not convinced he will be 100% ready to roll in 16 days until he's actually on the field.

Next to no starters playing tomorrow for the Bears. Thank f***ing god

Really? That's odd usually the starters go into the 3rd quarter in this preseason game. Risky strategy.

Rams started this last year. Green Bay and a few others picked up on the trend this year and now the Bears too.

Theres something refreshing about a coach willing to do what he thinks he is right, even if it goes against the norms that are expected in the league. Two very important players got hurt in the last game as it is, I like the move.
