The Chicago Bears (2-0) face the Seattle Seahawks (1-1) in preseason game No. 3 at CenturyLink Field.

• No. 3 receiver battle: Bears coach Marc Trestman said Josh Morgan deserves first shot at the No. 3 job with Marquess Wilson on the shelf because of a fractured clavicle. So Morgan is set to receive all the repetitions at the No. 3 spot with the first-team offense. He’s been one of the team’s most productive targets this preseason, but the Bears signed Santonio Holmes on Saturday. Holmes expects to play sparingly. So he’ll certainly be a player to watch as Chicago continues to look for a competent complement to Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. The Bears plan to make sure to put Holmes into situations he's comfortable with to help him succeed as he learns Chicago's offense.

• How starters handle the noise: In addition to changing eating, sleeping and practices in anticipation for the late West Coast start, the Bears have worked all week at operating in noisy environments, such as what they’ll see at CenturyLink Field. The club catered its game plan going into this contest to feature as little verbiage as possible in making adjustments, and the Bears plan to utilize silent snap counts all game in addition to using hand signals to call in plays. The Bears welcome the challenge of dealing with the noise after struggling in the last preseason game to call plays because of headset malfunctions.

• Competition for No. 2 quarterback: The Bears plan to play Jay Cutler and the first-team offense into the early part of the second half. Afterward, Jordan Palmer will be the first quarterback off the bench as he continues to compete with Jimmy Clausen for the primary backup job. Right now, the competition appears too close to call. So this game will play a major role in the staff’s decision. Palmer’s completion percentage (70.0) is higher than Clausen’s (64.3), but the latter owns the better passer rating (123.3) and has thrown one more touchdown pass this preseason (2).
