The Chicago Bears are in the middle of a summer break before returning to Halas Hall in late July for training camp. Now, we know exactly when we can expect them back on the practice field.
The NFL announced the report dates and locations for all 32 teams’ training camps. The Bears rookies will report Saturday, July 25 and veterans will report Tuesday, July 28. The team will announce their training camp schedule in the near future.
Chicago will have two joint practices this summer with a pair of preseason opponents, starting with the Cincinnati Bengals on Aug. 20, and concluding with the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 27. Both joint practices will be on the road before their respective preseason contests.
As players learned last summer, training camp is expected to be another rough one from head coach Ben Johnson as he looks to have his team prepared to be a contender once again in his second season.
“I’m expecting the worst,” defensive end Montez Sweat said back during minicamp. “Yeah. Just be prepared. Hopefully it will be a little bit easier this time since I’ve already been through it, but yeah — live days, hard hitting, long drives, playing preseason games. I’m ready for it.”
