3. Marqui Christian

Did Christian solidify a roster spot? The Chicago Bears almost always keep five safeties,  and behind Eddie Jackson and Tashaun Gipson, they have Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson. Then, there is a battle for safety five.

It started with Jordan Lucas, who is now banged up. Jalen Tabor had a nice camp but faded against Tennessee. Christian has been consistent and versatile, which goes a long way.

Christain has played deep, in the box, in the slot, and of course on special teams. Christian played nearly a full game on Saturday, in an effort that may have locked down his spot.

Seeing them use him in so many manners and seeing him go the full game has to give them confidence as depth in a lot of areas. He is one of those players that likely won a job this weekend.
