Position Battles To Watch

Bears: Much to the chagrin of Chicagoans, Jay Cutler will move forward as the starting QB in 2015, but it's the backup battle that will be front and center at Soldier Field. Jimmy Clausen, David Fales and Shane Carden are all vying for snaps this preseason. Their first opportunity to merit more will come on Thursday.

Dolphins: For Miami, the battle for the corner-back position opposite Brent Grimes is still up for grabs. Jamar Taylor and Brice McCain are believed to be the two players in competition—this despite McCain being acquired to feature in the slot.

Performance To Examine

With an injury to Geno Smith (jaw) and an impending suspension for Tom Brady, the stage is set for Ryan Tannehill to lead the way in the AFC East. The 27-year-old has progressed in each of his first three seasons, posting career high's in yards (4,045), touchdowns (27) and overall QB rating (92.8) last season.
