Titans rest starters in preseason loss to Bears at Nissan Stadium

The Tennessee Titans fell 24-15 to the Chicago Bears in their final preseason game on August 29, 2026. Coach Robert Saleh decided to rest most starters, including key players like Cam Ward and Jeffery Simmons. Several expected contributors played, but the Titans' defense struggled, giving up a 97-yard touchdown on Chicago's opening drive. Quarterback Will Levis completed 14 of 22 passes for 143 yards in what could be his final game with the team. Joey Slye made 11 field goals over the preseason, but the Titans' offense failed to convert drives into touchdowns.
