What happened: Bamba recorded two pass breakups while working as the primary defender on four targets. Those assignments produced zero receptions and zero yards.
Why it matters: The first-half production strengthens Bamba’s case for a larger role during the preseason evaluation window. His coverage held up across multiple opportunities rather than a single isolated snap.
By the numbers: Four targets, zero receptions, zero yards and two pass breakups. Bamba broke up 50% of the passes sent into his coverage.
What to watch: His second-half workload and ability to maintain that coverage efficiency are the next measures.
