Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings preseason updates

In NFL preseason developments, the Chicago Bears are seeing significant movement within their defensive line. Sixth-round pick Jordan van den Berg has earned increased playing time with the first-team unit following an impressive training camp. Additionally, defensive tackle Jamree Kromah has emerged as a notable performer after undergoing a physical transformation, losing 20 pounds to improve his conditioning. Kromah recorded six tackles, three tackles for loss, and two sacks during his first two preseason games.

In Minnesota, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson addressed his performance following a season of career lows in receiving yards and touchdowns. Jefferson emphasized his role as a leader and captain, stating his intention to keep team discussions internal and focus on supporting teammates, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy, rather than addressing frustrations in the media.
