The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for their 18th training camp practice on Friday, and there were some headlines and standouts from their joint practice with the Buffalo Bills.
While the Bears flat-out dominated the Miami Dolphins in last week’s joint practice, it was more balanced against the Super Bowl contending Bills. But that’s not to say this Dennis Allen defense didn’t bring the heat, as the defense got after quarterback Josh Allen, including intercepting him three times. Meanwhile, quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense got off to an impressive start and faced some adversity during red zone and two-minute drill. But it was an overall successful practice, where Rome Odunze and Olamide Zaccheaus shined. Although, there’s huge concerns about the Bears’ left tackle battle and pre-snap penalties.
Let’s recap Day 18 of Bears training camp:
