Who are the players to watch in the preseason finale?

The last preseason is usually just a walk thru and a chance for teams to get long looks at practice squad types of players. The Bears will be making final roster decisions, and what some of these players do in this game will be their last chance to put work on tape for the season. Who are the five most important follows in game five?

Jordan Morgan

In a draft class that has dominated headlines throughout the offseason, Morgan’s camp has been relatively quiet. William Poehls and Tom Compton have taken backup snaps over Morgan, and he has not seen much time until later in games. In this game, you would expect Morgan to play the entire second half, and potentially play portions of the first half as well.

There is a good chance that Morgan is going to make the roster. However, for a tackle switching to guard this will be a perfect opportunity to throw him out there for valuable repetitions that he will not get in what should be a redshirt year. How else will the team know what they have in him? Follow the rookie fifth round pick Jordan Morgan on the offensive line on Thursday.
