Chicago Bears training camp is in full swing ahead of the 2025 regular season. Under new head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are preparing a return to relevancy with important practices and meetings at Halas Hall.
The starters, such as quarterback Caleb Williams, wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore, and defensive linemen Grady Jarrett and Montez Sweat, will hone their skills as they adjust to a new system. Rookies such as tight end Colston Loveland, receiver Luther Burden III, tackle Ozzy Trapilo, and defensive tackle Shemar Turner will look to hit the ground running ahead of their first season. And depth players like offensive lineman Doug Kramer, defensive end Dominique Robinson, and safety Jonathan Owens will try and hang on to a roster spot with competition nipping at their heels.
Following every Bears’ training camp practice, we at Bears Wire will highlight a select number of players who stood out during the day. Here are the players who made plays on Day 4, which took place indoors due to inclement weather:
1. TE Colston Loveland
Bears top draft pick Colston Loveland was a full participant during Saturday’s practice, which marked the first time the tight end has practiced with Chicago. Loveland missed the offseason program as he recovered from shoulder surgery. He was ramping up to start camp, but Saturday marked his first full day of team action — and he “looked good,” per Adam Hoge. Loveland had three catches on the day, according to Adam Jahn, including two during 7-on-7 (one from Caleb Williams for a first down) and one during 11-on-11. Clay Harbor noted that Loveland “looked smooth” as he made some catches.
2. RB Kyle Monangai
Seventh-round running back Monangai has been one of the early standouts from training camp, and he continues to receive praise from the media. According to Clay Harbor, Monangai “has looked quicker than anticipated and like he belongs.” Harbor did acknowledge that the real work begins when the pads come on, but he “likes his chances of getting some carries this year.” Herb Howard also mentioned Monangai following Saturday’s practice, noting that he “has really good feet and vision.” This running back room, featuring D’Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson and Monangai, feels underlooked, and they’re looking to prove doubters wrong.
3. QB Caleb Williams
It’s been a tough start to training camp for Caleb Williams and the starting offense, but that’s all by design just a few practices into the summer. Following a rough three days, Williams had “his best day of camp,” according to Adam Hoge. Outside of a bad delay of game, “he was perfect” during the two-minute drill, which was capped with a nice touchdown completion to receiver Rome Odunze. Pat the Designer added that “Caleb was heated after 11-on-11… then ripped a PERFECT 2-minute drill.”
