Chicago Bears slammed by Titans HC for ‘cheap’ shot hurting WR

The Chicago Bears made headlines last summer when they went after their opponents hard during joint practices. One notable joint practice came against the Miami Dolphins when the Bears were called out for “dirty” tactics.

On Tuesday, first-year Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh complained about a hit Chicago newcomer Xavier Woods made on Titans wide receiver  Wan’Dale Robinson during Thursday’s joint practice.

Robinson was checked out for a concussion after the hit.

“We’re checking Wan’Dale for a concussion,” Saleh said.

A reporter asked Saleh what he thought of the hit by Woods.

“Cheap,” Saleh said.

Per Adam Jahns of CHGO Bears, Titans players “went after” Woods for a hit on Robinson that prompted a flag to be thrown.

“Bears safety Xavier Woods just laid out Titans WR Wan’Dale Robinson,” Jahns posted on X. “Hard high hit over the middle. Flag thrown. Titans players went after Woods.”

Last year, Dolphins beat writer Omar Kelly thought the Bears defense took cheap shots at Miami players during last year’s joint practice. He accused the Bears of making dirty hits on key players for the Dolphins.

“In my opinion, a couple of Bears defenders should have been thrown out of practice hours ago,” Kelly posted on X. “They were playing dirty. But if you’re Miami, are you gonna cry about it? You can’t. Waddle, Achane, and Tua all got hit, if not slammed, to grown in a non-contact practice. It was dirty.”

The Bears appear to be bringing a similar mentality to the practice field this year.

The intensity didn’t help the Bears defense become one of the top units in the league last year, though they did force a lot of turnovers.

Many of Chicago’s starters were out of the practice due to injury. Woods is expected to play a key role at safety for much of the season with Coby Bryant set to miss months due to a knee injury.
