Dexter Lawrence intercepts Caleb Williams at Bengals-Bears practice

Dexter Lawrence turned a tipped pass into an interception as the Bengals and Bears closed a physical joint practice, a play that highlighted his disruptive impact.

  • On Thursday, August 20, Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence dominated a joint practice against the Chicago Bears, intercepting quarterback Caleb Williams by reading a screen pass and tipping the ball to himself.
  • The Bengals surrendered the 10th overall pick to acquire Lawrence from the New York Giants this offseason, a move that justified his disruptive performance throughout the joint session.
  • Williams' performance remained a "mixed bag" during red-zone drills, as he strives to meet offensive coach Johnson's requirement of completing 70% of his passes.
  • The Bengals defense largely controlled the day, with defensive end Myles Murphy denying the Bears a two-minute drive by recording consecutive sacks during a final scrimmage session.
  • Before the preseason game on Saturday, the Bears will evaluate their starters' availability while addressing offensive line consistency ahead of their season opener in three weeks.
