Key Points:

  • The Chicago Bears concluded their final training camp practice at Halas Hall with cornerback Jaylon Johnson urging the team to improve, though tight end Cole Kmet called it one of their better practices so far.
  • Injuries impacted several players, including starting right tackle Darnell Wright, defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., tight end Hayden Large, and cornerback Dontae Manning, with Wright’s injury causing particular concern due to a previous arm issue.
  • Positive injury updates included the activation of safety Elijah Hicks and rookie linebacker Keyshaun Elliott from the PUP list, as well as the return of quarterback Tyson Bagent and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson to team drills.
  • Rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg and defensive lineman James Lynch gained first-team reps, while Braxton Jones showed promise at left tackle during practice, and Theo Benedet filled in at right tackle.
  • The Bears wrapped up practice with a long drive drill testing endurance, highlighted by a 59-yard field goal from Cairo Santos and an interception by safety Xavier Woods, as the team prepares for a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans and their final preseason game on Saturday.
