Roquan Smith returned, Khyiris Tonga went pick-six, and the Bears showed off a trick play as they returned to practice at Halas Hall.
While Smith was the headliner Saturday, another member of the defense made the play of the day.
Besides the pick-six to Tonga, Fields and the first-team offense had a fairly crisp day, especially during a"move the ball" drill that started at the opposition's 40-yard line. -- Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom got all the first-team reps Saturday. Riley Reiff returned to team drills and saw action as the second team left tackle. Eberflus praised Borom for his consistency while noting the second-year tackle has the inside track for the starting job.
"He did a good job in the game," Eberflus said."He played a solid game. You think about that for a second, coming there for a couple of days and then starting in there and on playing. We were impressed. He did a nice job. He did a nice job. Now he's got to continue to grow at the position. Like everybody else on the team, he's got a lot to work on. But he had a good first outing in there.
