Makes first-down catch in preseason debut

Loveland brought in one of three targets for 10 yards in the Bears' 27-9 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday.

The second-year tight end was the subject of plenty of Caleb Williams' attention on the Bears' opening possession, but Loveland was only able to corral one of the three passes that went his way. Nevertheless, the target volume relative to playing time was an encouraging sign for Loveland's outlook heading into the regular season, when he'll look to build on the 58-713-6 line on 82 targets he compiled across 16 regular-season games during his 2025 rookie campaign.
