What happened: Bernard stayed upright through contact before reaching the end zone. The score came during Thursday's NFL preseason action.
Why it matters: The touchdown adds another positive rep as Bernard competes for a receiving role ahead of the 2026 season. His work after contact strengthens that roster case.
By the numbers: Bernard recorded four receptions for 51 yards in his Aug. 13 preseason appearance.
What to watch: His usage in the remaining preseason action and final roster decisions will determine his early-season role.
