The Chicago Bears were back on the practice field at Halas Hall on Tuesday morning for the second padded workout of the summer.
The Bears kicked things up a notch on Day 6, where they had several live periods for the first time this summer. There was plenty of physicality and intensity on display, which even led to the first scuffle of training camp between two rookies. It was overall a rough outing for the offense on Tuesday, and the defense took advantage. There was a notable development in the left tackle battle, as well as a lot of 13 personnel throughout practice.
As far as attendance goes, cornerbacks Terell Smith and KC Eziomume weren’t spotted at practice, as well as safety Coby Bryant, who suffered a knee injury on Monday and is expected to miss 8-10 weeks. While there was an injury scare with receiver Luther Burden III, it appears he’s fine.
Here are some observations, from media members in attendance, following Tuesday’s training camp practice:
