It’s finally gameday at Soldier Field, as the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins are set to square off on the lakefront.
Both teams missed the playoffs last season, with the Dolphins sporting an 8-9 record and the Bears a record of 5-12, but both teams are hoping they can turn things around in the new campaign.
Here’s what you need to know about the game Sunday.
What time does the Dolphins vs. Bears game start?
The Bears will get the preseason started at a fairly normal time, as kickoff Sunday is set for noon on the lakefront.
What channel is the game on?
The game will air locally on Fox. Bears fans in other markets will be able to watch the game on the NFL Network.
Will Caleb Williams, other starters play?
According to Bears head coach Ben Johnson, quarterback Caleb Williams will not play in Sunday’s game, with Tyson Bagent getting the start for the preseason opener.
Other Bears starters also will not suit up, but Johnson did not specify which players would be out of action for the contest.
What position battles are there to watch?
As the Bears reshaped their offensive line heading into the regular season, the big question is which player would take the starting job at left tackle.
On the team’s first unofficial depth chart, incumbent Braxton Jones is still listed as the first-string player at the position, but second-round pick Ozzy Trapilo is breathing down his neck in a heated competition for that role.
Kiran Amegadjie, who got time last season at left tackle, should also be in the mix.
The backup quarterback role is also hardly settled, even though Bagent will get the start in Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. Case Keenum signed with the Bears during the offseason, and the idea of having an established veteran backing Williams up in a new offense could be a key consideration for Johnson and company.
A spot as a starting cornerback could also be unfolding, as Tyrique Stevenson and Terell Smith could battle for playing time once the regular season gets underway. Stevenson was listed as the starter on the initial depth chart, with Smith listed as the back-up at the position.
Will the Dolphins play their starters?
Coach Mike McDaniel has said he would like his starters to get some playing time Sunday, but there’s uncertainty over the status of wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who’s dealing with an oblique injury. He did not practice during the joint workout with the Bears on Friday, so odds are he won’t suit up.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could potentially play, but no official word has yet come down.
