Browns struggle with run game in preseason loss to Bears

The Cleveland Browns faced challenges with their run game during their preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears on August 16, 2026. The Browns finished with 27 rushes for 108 yards, averaging four yards per carry, but this was buoyed by a late drive from rookie Davon Booth. Excluding that drive, the Browns managed only 56 yards on 24 carries, averaging 2.3 yards per carry. Concerns remain regarding the effectiveness of the offensive line, which struggled to create running lanes, a point of emphasis for head coach Todd Monken as he aims to improve the offensive unit ahead of the regular season.
