The Chicago Bears cap their preseason with a 24-15 win over the Tennessee Titans, highlighted by rookie wide receiver Zavion Thomas. On his first NFL play, Thomas catches a 97-yard touchdown pass from Tyson Bagent. He finishes with five receptions for 140 yards in the preseason game.
Thomas is also noted for making his preseason debut after missing the first two games due to a knee injury. Multiple outlets focus on his standout impact across offense and, in at least one account, special teams as well. Coverage generally agrees on the key performance details—his opening-play touchdown, his stat line, and the final score—while differing mainly in how much they emphasize the injury-related return or the added attention on his game film.
