Chicago Bears vs. Cincinnati Bengals start time

Date: Saturday, Aug. 17

Where: Solider Field, Chicago, Ill.

Time: Noon CDT

For the second week in a row, the Bears will take on a team they're trying to emulate. The Bengals come to town with an elite quarterback and a team built around that quarterback. The Bears, trying to do the same with Caleb Williams, will get a look at the Bengals like they did with the Buffalo Bills.

The Bengals starters won't play on Saturday, meaning the Bears' best lessons will come Thursday with the joint practice between both teams. Still, Saturday is another chance for the Bears' fringe roster players to get playing time and prove they deserve a roster spot.
