In Chicago, the Bears are dealing with a significant blow to their secondary. Safety Coby Bryant went under the knife for knee surgery, and head coach Ben Johnson confirmed Tuesday that Bryant is looking at four to six months on the shelf. That's a tough timeline heading into the season.
Shifting to the NFC East, the Washington Commanders have added depth at linebacker, signing Curtis Jacobs to bolster their roster as the preseason rolls on. It's the kind of under-the-radar move that can quietly shape a fifty-three man roster, and Washington is clearly not done building.
And out in joint practice land, the San Francisco Forty Niners and Tennessee Titans apparently decided to settle more than just football matters on Tuesday. The two teams reportedly got into it eight separate times during their joint session — eight — which is the kind of number that makes you wonder if anyone actually ran a play. Kyle Shanahan has already confirmed most of his starters won't suit up Thursday night, so the only thing his guys were really competing for today was, apparently, their pride.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
