Bears cornerback Kevin Toliver is ready for his audition.
“I feel like every day is an audition,” Toliver said. “It’s a day-to-day business. So you’ve got to come to work every day with the same mind-set — the dog mind-set. That’s all I come in here with, just to get two-percent better every day.”
Under Matt Nagy, the Bears aren’t going to start preparing for next season until next season. By Nagy’s philosophy, the priority is winning the final two games, not giving unproven players a chance to show what they can do. Even injured starters such as defensive end Akiem Hicks and cornerback Prince Amukamara are preparing to start Sunday against the Chiefs at Soldier Field.
