CBS Sports analyst Josh Edwards suggests the Chicago Bears should prioritize secondary depth before the upcoming roster deadline. The team faces significant personnel challenges following a series of injuries during summer practices. Safety Coby Bryant is expected to miss an extended period of time, while Kyler Gordon, Elijah Hicks, and Jaylon Jones have been limited to sideline observation. Head coach Ben Johnson, known for his calculated approach to talent evaluation, may address these defensive vacancies despite speculation regarding a potential move for a tight end. The Bears finished first in the NFC North last season, but management is currently balancing internal roster needs as the preseason deadline nears.
