Windy City Gridiron • • sports
Key Points:
- The Chicago Bears' defense dominated Saturday's practice, marking a shift from earlier days when the offense had the upper hand, according to multiple beat reporters.
- Due to bad weather and lightning, the Bears canceled the open practice for fans and moved indoors, disrupting the originally scheduled outdoor session.
- Quarterback Caleb Hanie struggled with accuracy and timing in rainy conditions, leading to multiple drops and a disjointed offense, while the defense's coverage improved notably.
- Changes in offensive line rotations were observed, with Jedrick Wills Jr. starting at left tackle for the first string, and Braxton Jones moving to the second team as part of the Bears' strategy to distribute reps.
- Running back Kyle Monangai missed his third consecutive practice without explanation, and linebacker Jack Sanborn left practice early and did not return.
