Tequila shots, a shocking loss and a big-time, franchise-defining contract: An inside look at the Chicago Bears’ process of landing Ben Johnson. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Rome Odunze on his comfort level in the Bears' offense: "I feel comfortable with what we’ve put in. I know Ben’s offense isn’t something that you’re going to completely and totally full understanding in Year 1. It’s something that kind of takes a little bit of evolving to get…

Bears practice No. 4 just wrapped -Much better day for the first-team offense, which ended the 2 minute drill (end of half scenario) with a goal line fade TD from Caleb Williams to Rome Odunze -Kiran Amegadjie was with the 1s at left tackle before leaving practice early with…

Joined @ESPNNFL's Back Together Weekend coverage from Bears camp to discuss why Ben Johnson said he's not frustrated "whatsoever" with the offense's early ups and downs + two teaching moments for Caleb Williams.

The Bears went through their 4th install last night and have 12 total, according to Ben Johnson. So still a lot of new things these players are learning, digesting and getting to execute at practice for the first time. Friday was the team's first run through in the red zone,…

Luther Burden III will not practice today but is getting closer to a return, per Johnson.

Darnell Wright won't be at practice today. Bears are giving him a rest day, per Ben Johnson.

Due to inclement weather, today’s #BearsCamp practice viewing has been canceled. Tickets cannot be transferred to an alternate date.

It’s a great day to talk a lot of football on @espn and @abc! 9-noon on ESPN and 1-3 on ABC! #BackTogetherWeekend @nfl

Bears training camp Day 3 news and notes -Dennis Allen's defense shines in red zone periods -Why OC Declan Doyle isn't concerned yet w/ offense struggles -What awaits Luther Burden III when he returns -UDFA JP Richardson turns heads espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Caleb Williams and the first-team offense struggled in the red zone during Friday's practice. Bad day for the offense? Good day for the defense? Here's why OC Declan Doyle says the Bears aren't concerned "right now" by the offense's struggles. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

The 70% completion percentage benchmark that the Bears want Caleb Williams to reach this season is something the team tracks daily in camp and presents to the QB in meetings so he can track his progress. That includes 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods. Doyle: "The biggest thing is,…

During an early 11-on-11 period, DE Montez Sweat got pressure on Caleb Williams on back-to-back plays. That was by design, according to OC Declan Doyle, to see how Williams would handle those situations. Doyle: "That’s very intentional. That’s trying to get our defensive…

DJ Moore on the challenge of going against Dennis Allen’s defense: “There’s not one thing they looks the same.”

DJ Moore on the urgency being preached by Bears coaches: "They're testing us to be pros."

Today was a scheduled rest day for Braxton Jones

I also keep writing down JP Richardson’s name in my notebook. The UDFA wide receiver made back to back catches in team period with the 3s and had put together a good 3 day stretch to start camp.

Caleb Williams and the first teamers turn around a rough 7/7 red zone period with back to back completions to Odunze and Zaccheaus in 11/11. Lots of sticky coverage from Bears DBs near goal line.

About half an hour of practice remains. Some notes so far on a heavy redzone emphasis day: -Not present: Braxton Jones, Frazier (personal), Burden (hamstring), Turner (ankle) -Montez Sweat was harassing Caleb Williams off the right edge couple times in 11/11. Would imagine a…

Day 3 of Bears camp is the first practice open to fans. Did not spot Braxton Jones during stretching, thus it was Ozzy Trapilo with the 1s at LT during install.
