The Chicago Bears were back on the practice field at Halas Hall on Tuesday morning for the sixth practice of training camp — and their second in pads this summer.
The Bears had their most physical day of practice under head coach Ben Johnson, according to Greg Braggs, which included live tackling for the first time in camp this summer. While the offense had a nice day — including quarterback Caleb Williams’ best day so far — the defense had a strong finish with a dominant performance during the two-minute drill, which had defensive end Montez Sweat all fired up.
As far as attendance goes, rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III practiced for the first time during the team period. Center Doug Kramer and Tanoh Kpassagnon were back at practice. Meanwhile, rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner (ankle) and rookie cornerback Zah Frazier (personal) remain sidelined.
Here are some observations, from media members and fans in attendance, following Tuesday’s training camp practice:
