Chicago Bears wide receiver Rodney Adams caught three passes for 15 yards in the team's final preseason game against the Titans. Adams has enjoyed a fantastic camp but played only 17 offensive snaps on Saturday, zero on special teams. One way to look at it is that Adams has done enough to make the Week 1 roster and the Bears were getting a look at other players. The other side is that Adams will come up short and the Bears could then sign him to the practice squad. Adams has built an early bond with Justin Fields during training camp but is 50/50 to make the team when the Bears make their final roster cuts Tuesday afternoon.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rodney Adams caught three passes for 89 yards with one touchdown in the team's second preseason game against the Bills. Adams continues to make plays, this time catching a dime from starter Andy Dalton and taking it to the house for a 73-yard touchdown in the first half. Adams was targeted six times and did register a drop in the game. But barring injury, Adams may have done enough to outlast players like Riley Ridley or Javon Wims for the final spot on the Bears wide receivers depth chart.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rodney Adams suffered a case of the 'drops' at Thursday's practice. Adams has been one of the biggest surprises in training camp and has developed a fast chemistry with rookie quarterback Justin Fields. Adams also flashed his playmaking ability in the team's first preseason game but has followed up that performance with some shaky practices. The margin for error for Adams is very slim if he hopes to make the team and will need to produce in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Bills to restore the faith of the coaching staff.

He caught a pass from starting quarterback Andy Dalton and turned it upfield for 15 yards and then made some nice grabs with rookie passer Justin Fields. Adams should continue to see plenty of snaps as he makes his case to earn his roster spot when the regular season begins.

Adams has flashed with some excellent deep touchdowns through the first two weeks of camp, one of them going viral as the recipient of a fantastic pass from Justin Fields.

The Chicago Bears have signed wide receiver Rodney Adams. Adams last played in the NFL in 2018 with the Indianapolis Colts and was drafted in 2017 in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings. Adams has plenty of experience on special teams as the Bears add to their depth at the wide receivers position. Adams is not expected to crack the Week 1 roster but is worth monitoring on the practice squad heading into the season.
