Awesome addition: Veteran defensive tackle Trevon Coley, who signed with the Bears Aug. 5, has recorded a team-leading three sacks in the first two preseason games.
“He’s fit right in and picked up the scheme really fast,” said defensive line coach Travis Smith. “He’s kind of been thrown into a few different roles and even played a rep at defensive end for us. Production speaks for itself. He’s been able to win one-on-ones in pass rush, he plays really hard, he runs to the ball. He’s been awesome, an awesome addition to the room.”
Coley has appeared in 44 NFL games with 31 starts over four seasons with the Browns (2017-18), Colts (2019) and Cardinals (2020), registering 100 tackles, 14 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks. He missed all of last season with a foot injury he sustained in the preseason while playing for the Titans.
Impressive traits: Expectations are high for linebacker Nicholas Morrow, who signed with the Bears this year after spending his first five NFL seasons with the Raiders.
Morrow, who missed all of the 2021 campaign due to an ankle injury, appealed to the Bears because of his speed, instincts and intelligence.
“Nick can flourish because he’s smart and he can run, [and] he plays physical,” said linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi. “When you get those three things, when you can run and you’re smart and you’re physical, any player—whether it’s a linebacker, defensive lineman or safety—has a chance to be successful.”
