CANTON, Ohio — It’s really hard to dig too deep on what the Bears did or didn’t do in their 17-16 exhibition loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Hall of Fame game Thursday night without some definitive clarity on what exactly they hoped to accomplish.
We get why players like Mitch Trubisky, Jordan Howard, Allen Robinson, Kyle Long, Akiem Hicks, Kyle Fuller, Prince Amukamara and a number of the other starters never saw the field. There was far more to lose by risking injuries than there was to gain this early in the preseason.
