  "textContent": "<p>The <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears\" target=\"_blank\" >Bears</a>’ remodeled defense will be tested by Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow two days before the two teams play in a preseason game this August.</p><p>The Bengals will host the Bears for a joint practice Aug. 20, Bengals coach Zac Taylor told Cincinnati reporters on Tuesday. The two teams will then face off at Paycor Stadium on Aug. 22.</p><p>The matchup will pit brother against brother, with the Bengals head coach facing off against Press Taylor, the Bears’ first-year offensive coordinator. Press Taylor was Ben Johnson’s pass-game coordinator last season when the Bears beat the Burrow-less Bengals.</p><p>“That’s my brother, but he’s also a football coach,” Press Taylor said last month. “We share the same interest. Football tends to come up when we’re talking. Things like that come up quite a bit.”</p><p>The Bears have practiced against Burrow before. In 2024, the Bears <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2024/08/14/bears-training-camo-bengals-vow-best-behavior-nfl-crack-down-practice-fights\" target=\"_blank\" >hosted the Bengals</a> for a joint practice at Halas Hall. The rainy practice, during which the Bengals suffered two serious injuries, was featured on the third episode of “Hard Knocks.”</p><p></p><p></p><bsp-list-loadmore class=\"PageListH\" data-module data-hide-authors=\"true\" data-hide-categories=\"true\" data-hide-dates=\"true\" data-show-loadmore=\"true\" ><a class=\"AnchorLink\" id=\"list-bc0001\" name=\"list-bc0001\"></a><div class=\"PageList-header\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title-wrap\" > <div class=\"PageList-header-title\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears\" target=\"{borderColor=#dfdfdf, pageNumber=1, inverseColors=false, footerBgColor=#000000, bodyFont=font-3, showListNumbers=false, imagePositionHorizontal=null, rteBodyFont=font-3, pageCount=6896, headerBottomBorderColor=#111010, titleUrl=https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears, subTitle=null, stickyHeader=true, listTitleColor=#000000, tableCellBorderColor=#ccd1d5, relatedListFont=font-1, hideAuthors=true, tertiaryTextColor=#6c6c6c, buttonHoverTextColor=#ffffff, tableFont=font-1, carouselAutoPlay=false, promoTitleFont=font-2, _styledTemplate=/page/list/PageListH.hbs, ctaButtonText=[], primaryTextColor=#2a2a2a, buttonTextColor=#ffffff, linkTextColor=#1a1a1a, hideTitles=false, footerLinkColor=#ffffff, carouselSpeed=null, buttonHoverBgColor=#a91d23, rteHeadingFont=font-1, secondaryColor=#656565, hideCategories=true, _template=/page/list/includes/PageList-header.hbs, font3=Arial, font4=Source-serif-4, ctaUrl=null, hideImage=false, suppressPagination=true, footerLinkHoverColor=#d3242c, hideAudioPlayback=false, description=[], showSecondItemMedia=false, listColumns234=null, footerTextColor=#ffffff, title=Latest on the Bears, headerSecondaryBgColor=#000000, primaryTextColorInverse=#ffffff, titleColor=null, ampLink=null, listHeaderPosition=null, hideDescriptions=false, showActionBar=true, linkHoverColor=#d3242c, buttonBgColor=#d3242c, ctaTarget=null, anchorId=list-bc0001, promoButtonText=null, backgroundColor=null, headerSecondaryTextColor=#ffffff, count=20686, pullQuoteIcon=[{image=null, narrowImage=null, _template=/image/Image.hbs, alt=null}], listTitleFont=font-2, headlineFont=font-1, promoDescriptionFont=font-3, primaryColor=#d3242c, slimFooter=false, hideHeadline=false, hideDates=true, headerBorderColor=#e9e9e9, ratingCardFont=font-1, titleTarget=null, items=[{type=Image, timestamp=1780347335000, url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/nfl/2026/06/01/raymond-berry-colts-hall-of-fame-receiver-patriots-bears-super-bowl-xx-dies-at-93, title=Raymond Berry, Hall of Fame receiver who coached Patriots against the Bears in Super Bowl XX, dies at 93, _styledTemplate=null, wordCount=994, imageAlignment=null, isFeatured=false, publishDate=June 01, 2026 03:55 PM, target=null, description=[{items=[“In NFL history, there are only a handful of players who we can say truly changed the sport.
