It is only one week of training camp, so the movers and shakers are just small little ripples as of now. However, every day is a day for these players to make the most of their chances and earn starting jobs, roster spots, or big-money contracts. Who are some players on the Chicago Bears who are seeing their stock rise after the first week?
3. Terrell Lewis is the biggest riser for the Chicago Bears
If anyone has gone from off of the 53-man roster to the bubble or potentially to the brink of making it in one week, it is Terrell Lewis. That is hard to say because the pads have not even come on, and that means that the line play is mainly just some speed and basic combat. However, Terrell Lewis has had a steady drumbeat from all reports since back in May.
Lewis has always been a star talent, but he has not been able to stay healthy. He is healthy now, and we are seeing why he went to Alabama and even got drafted on day two despite the injuries concerns sparking in college.
When you look at the Chicago Bears roster, it is easy to see a path for Lewis to make it. Most would assume that he is currently behind Demarcus Walker, Rasheem Green, Trevis Gipson, and Dominique Robinson. However, that is because of his past of getting cut by the Rams and not about his play. On the field, he can compete with each and every person listed, snap for snap.
It will be interesting to see if the momentum remains for Lewis as the intensity of training camp heats up. Lewis could go from the bubble to a lock on the roster to competing to start really quickly.
