Chicago Bears 53-man roster projection following preseason Week 1

Linebacker (5): TJ Edwards, Tremaine Edmunds, Jack Sanborn, Noah Sewell, Amen Ogbongbemiga

The top three are locks, and after Saturday, Ogbongbemiga may be one as well. The special teams ace filled up the stat sheet against the Bills, collecting eight tackles, one sack, and one pass defense.

Noah Sewell, as a former fifth-round pick, may have the edge over Micah Baskerville for the final spot. Although, Baskerville had a better game on Saturday and even found the end zone on a 53-yard interception return. That final LB position may go down to the last day.

Cornerback (6): Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson, Kyler Gordon, Terrell Smith, Josh Blackwell, Jaylon Jones

Once again, this is a position group that I don't see much changing in. Johnson, Stevenson, and Gordon are locks and make up a potentially elite trio. Smith was a fifth-round pick just last year and the team likes his potential. Blackwell contributes on special teams and is depth in the slot, and Jones has been making plays all summer.

Greg Stroman Jr. and Reddy Steward have been making plays as well, but this is a deep group that will be hard to break.
