Bears hold short practice ahead of tomorrow’s practice with the Bengals
Key Points:
- The Chicago Bears held a brief 45-minute practice at Halas Hall in preparation for a joint practice session with the Cincinnati Bengals, which is expected to be a physical and challenging scrimmage.
- Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen highlighted the Bengals' strong offense, featuring an MVP-caliber quarterback and wide receiver, as well as key players like Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, and Mike Gesicki, making the practice a valuable test for Chicago's defense.
- Allen expressed optimism about nickelback Kyler Gordon's return, noting he is actively rehabbing and participating in team meetings, with hopes for a return "sooner rather than later."
- Several Bears players, including Tyson Bagent, Tyrique Stevenson, and Grady Jarrett, did not practice today, with additional absences due to PUP status or longer-term sidelining.
