Chicago Bears vs. Tennessee Titans, Saturday, August 29, 2026

According to Kalshi's 2026 NFL market-implied power rankings, Chicago enters as the No. 15 team in the league while Tennessee ranks 28th.

Chicago's Caleb Williams remains a game-time question. Head coach Ben Johnson has indicated he would rather get Williams his remaining reps in practice than risk an injury in a meaningless finale, and Williams has played just one series so far this preseason, going 2-of-5 for 28 yards against Cincinnati. If he sits, the Bears turn to a backup rotation of Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum and Miller Moss.

Tennessee's Cam Ward is expected to play again after completing 8 of 12 passes for 69 yards on the offense's first three drives last week. Saturday marks the first time Ward and Williams, the first overall picks in consecutive drafts, share an NFL field.

Both teams wrapped joint practices this week that head coaches Johnson and Robert Saleh used to help decide their starters' workload. Chicago's offense got the better of the early session before Tennessee's defense and rookie receiver Carnell Tate turned the tide in the second half.
