In his first NFL action, Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers endured a tough preseason debut in a 24–24 tie with the Chicago Bears, completing just 5 of 18 passes for 91 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Entering midway through the third quarter, Ewers managed to lead two late scoring drives but also suffered two sacks and lost two fumbles, including a costly strip-sack deep in Dolphins territory. While he showed occasional flashes, the performance raised concerns about his readiness and ball security heading into the regular season.
