Bears rookie Dazz Newsome still searching for ‘home run’

Posted Aug 26, 2021
Rookie receiver Dazz Newsome was the only Bear to return a punt in Saturday’s NFL preseason game against the Bills. With Tarik Cohen still out almost 10 months after knee surgery, Newsome could be the coaches’ choice to be the Week 1 punt returner. "I just need to show my abilities and what I can do, what I can bring to the table," Newsome said. (Chicago Sun-Times)
