The Chicago Bears had an impressive 27-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. However, there were things that the team needed to clean up. Who are the players that saw their stock drop despite the Bears win?

6 Chicago Bears Whose Stock Dropped in Week 3 Win

Braxton Jones

Jones has held down the left side for the Bears through three weeks. The team had been platooning him with Theo Benedet, but Jones had taken the majority of the snaps. Benedet played this week, but this time, it was due to injury. 

Jones has not been the answer at left tackle, and the team is just waiting for Ozzy Trapilo to prove he is healthy enough. 

Theo Benedet 

Benedet stepped in for Jones and was not very good. There is a reason he has been a part-time player and has not been able to beat out Jones for more snaps. He allowed three pressures on 34 total snaps, with 17 being in pass protection, according to PFF. He is not the answer. 

Rome Odunze

Odunze has been a disappointment through the first three weeks. Kalif Raymond has outplayed him, and he had another average game with three catches for 44 yards. He dropped an easy touchdown when the game was still close. On the season, Odunze has eight catches for 139 yards. He is averaging 1.53 yards per route run, which is the same rate as last year. The former top ten pick has not progressed.

Kyle Monangai 

Monangai has not been able to eat into the workload of D’Andre Swift. Monangai had 100 rushing yards in Week 1. However, he had 43 yards the following week and ended Week 3 with just 31 yards. His role is predictable, and he has not brought enough explosiveness is recent weeks. 

Neville Gallimore 

Gallimore was signed to be an addition to the defensive line rotation. However, he has slowly been playing himself out of a role. Gallimore went from 29 snaps in Week 1 to 19 snaps in Week 2 and then 12 snaps in the Bears Week 3 win. The team is leaning heavily into Kentavius Street over him. 

Tyrique Stevenson 

Stevenson had a hamstring injury, but he was active and did not play. Malik Muhammad looked fine on the outside, and Cam Lewis might be best in the slot. So, the Bears could be enticed to keep Stevenson on the bench.
