Grading Chicago Bears rookies through seven weeks of 2023

Round 4 Chicago Bears WR Tyler Scott

Tyler Scott has emerged in recent weeks. It took the Bears trading Chase Claypool and Equanimeous St. Brown heading to the IR for him to get on the field, but he played more in the last two weeks than the first five combined. He also has 31 yards in the last two weeks after posting just 20 in the first five weeks.

Scott even took two carries for 14 yards last week against Las Vegas. He started slow, but is trending up.

Round 5 Chicago Bears LB Noah Sewell

Noah Sewell has played 13 defensive snaps. He has not played since the Kansas City Chiefs game which was the last time the Bears had real garbage time. Still, Sewell has been able to stay active via special teams. He has 151 snaps, and plays on five of the six phases, which is highly valuable.

Round 5 Chicago Bears CB Terell Smith

We were just starting to get to see what Terell Smith could do. He came in during week three due to injuries in the secondary. Smith started weeks four and five with Jaylon Johnson out and played well. He gave up a couple of catches, but was willing to tackle and was not picked on. Unfortunately an illness has kept him out for the last two weeks and will keep him out for another week or two.
