Austin Booker’s knee injury in Sunday night’s Bears-Bills game compounds Chicago’s growing list of health concerns as teams trim rosters. Booker had emerged as a preseason standout, collecting a sack, a QB hit and two tackles against Buffalo after a three-sack opener versus Miami. His exit leaves Chicago shorthanded at edge and could shuffle the Bears’ rotation as they evaluate depth in the trenches ahead of Week 1 preparations.

With Booker sidelined and Terell Smith carted off with a non-contact injury, plus Deion Hankins and Dominique Robinson leaving the field, Chicago’s defensive roster faces immediate stress. Fantasy managers should monitor snap shares in Chicago’s front seven and secondary, as backups may absorb more reps in coming preseason tuneups, potentially lifting the value of a few depth pieces if injuries linger or shift roles.

Tua Tagovailoa opened Miami’s preseason drive with clean efficiency, finishing 5-of-6 for 27 yards as the Dolphins moved 15 plays against Chicago’s backups. A Bears goal-line stand kept Miami from scoring on its first possession, but the night belonged to the QB depth charts, with Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers delivering three straight TD drives and a 56-yard field goal by Jason Sanders to tie the game late at 24.

Chicago’s defense dominated Johnson’s debut, racking six sacks, including three by Austin Booker, and forcing a turnover on a strip-sack near the goal line that set up a Keenum-to-Hankins TD. Ewers connected on a 21-yard play to Mattison and a late score by rookie Ollie Gordon to swing the lead, while Wilson came back to connect with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tahj Washington for sustained drives. The showcase elevated depth-chart chatter and fantasy optimism for Miami’s backup quarterbacks.
