The Chicago Bears will conclude their 2024 preseason schedule on Thursday night with a game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The game will not feature a quarterback matchup that many fans wish to see—Bears' rookie Caleb Williams against Chiefs' superstar Patrick Mahomes. Williams has often been compared to Mahomes, but each starting quarterback will have the night off, as neither team will be playing their starters.
Still, there will be reasons to watch as players such as Velus Jones Jr. will be making a final effort to lay claim to a spot on the Bears' 53-man roster or showcase themselves for teams across the NFL.

There won't be much to watch for in this game given that the starters aren't playing but it will be another opportunity for the Bears to get a look at their former head coach, Matt Nagy. Nagy has returned to being trusted coach under Andy Reid. In fact, many expect Nagy to be the eventual successor to Reid.
