CINCINNATI – Give the game ball to Bears defensive lineman Will Sutton after the 21-10 loss to the Bengals.

Sutton just keeps showing up. The second-year defensive lineman had another impressive game in the trenches at Paul Brown Stadium. He’s been the Bears' most active defensive lineman through three preseason games.

Known for his pass-rushing ability at Arizona State, Sutton has become an effective run-stopper. The former third-round pick tallied three tackles in the first half alone and seems like a no-brainer to make the 53-man roster.

The chances of Sutton earning a permanent role on defense also increased on Saturday because of injuries to Jeremiah Ratliff (ankle) and Eddie Goldman (concussion).
