The latest episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" with the Chicago Bears is now available, featuring more inside looks of the team during the preseason.
This week's episode was filled with a lot of emotional moments shared between the team and the coaching staff. Here are the top moments from the fourth episode of the documentary series.
Bears QB Room Continues To Shine
The Bears quarterback room during training camp has continued to look like a tight group based on everything that was shown on "Hard Knocks" this season.
Between Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, Brett Rypien, and Austin Reed, the group had a hilarious dynamic working together throughout the offseason. Throughout the entire process, everyone knew who the starter was in the room and the other arms in the room made sure to support him while still competing amongst each other.
The best moment on this week's episode had to be Bagent, Rypien, and Reed on the sideline coming up with celebrations for Williams while he led the starting offense down the field in practice. Not only that, but the film crew also followed Bagent, Reed, and Rypien to the top of Sears Tower in downtown Chicago.
Seeing how Rypien, Williams, and Bagent reacted to Reed's touchdown against the Chiefs was also heart warming. The vibes in this room seemed incredible, it's unfortunate what eventually had to happen during roster cuts.
Ian Wheeler's Heart Breaking Injury
Once again we got to see a more featured look at rookie running back Ian Wheeler. The Bears undrafted back has been one of the shining moments from this season after keeping his head up and continuing to battle in camp.
This week, we got some more tough love from running backs coach Chad Morton going Wheeler's direction, and we finally got to see assistant running backs coach Jennifer King helping the rookie out as well.
Wheeler hilariously referred to the two as "good cop" and "bad cop" with how they were coaching him up during practice. Wheeler's development battling through adversity throughout the show and in training camp has been a major feature story.
Unfortunately, the story had a somber ending after Wheeler suffered a torn ACL in the preseason finale that will force him to miss his rookie season. It was heart breaking to see how crushed everyone was after learning the full extent of his injury.
Travis Bagent Arm Wrestling Footage
The moment everyone has been waiting for since last week's teaser of an absolute legend has finally happened.
This week on "Hard Knocks" we finally got some arm wrestling footage of backup quarterback Tyson Bagent's father Travis Bagent.
Travis, the 28-time arm wrestling world champion, got to show off some of his talents on a national stage while his son and the film crew in attendance for an arm wrestling competition the night before the Bears final preseason game.
