And there will also be focus placed on rookie running back Devin Singletary to see if he can build on the production 27 yards rushing and 21 yards receiving he had against the Colts.BEARS AT GIANTSGiants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones gets another chance to impress in the teams' first preseason matchup since 2012.Jones was 5 for 5 for 67 yards and a TD pass Eddie Goldman Color Rush Jersey in last week's preseason opener against the Jets.Jones and Eli Manning and both played one series. Both should see more action against Chicago in the Giants' first game since the suspension of wide receiver Golden Tate was announced Tuesday.The Giants' defense struggled as Sam Darnold drove the Jets right down the field on the opening possession.Bears coach Matt Nagy continues to keep quiet on how much the starters will play, but all indications are little or not at all even if https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Roquan-Smith-Jersey they're obviously tired of hitting each other and want to hit someone else.They went through a two-hour-plus mock game Wednesday night, complete with pumped-in stadium noise, light hitting, a clock and starters facing backups. Kyle Long got into a fight, removed the helmet of rookie defensive lineman Jalen Dalton and began swinging it at defenders before being sent to the bench for the night. It was their third straight practice with a fight of some sort.Starting tight end Trey Burton returned Eric Kush Jersey to play in the simulated game after a week and a half away while recovering from hernia surgery, but left guard Cody Whitehair injured a finger and left the practice.

"If things go as well as they did early offensively, it'll probably be the same. Defensively, the same, just because of the work we're getting this week. If we Richard Dent Color Rush Jersey weren't working together this week, we'd probably play 20 or 25 plays."
