The Chicago Bears held their third practice of training camp Friday morning at Halas Hall. Here are our six takeaways from camp, from Jaylon Johnson's contract talk, to Darnell Wright acing his conditioning test and checking in with Justin Fields.
Without a lot of full-speed action, there wasn’t an abundance of plays to sift through and overanalyze. Fields threaded a nice pass to DJ Moore on an intermediate dig route in tight coverage against Johnson in one-on-one drills. His best throw, also in one-on-ones, might have been a corner route to tight end Robert Tonyan against safety Elijah Hicks. The majority of throws in 7-on-7 action were checkdowns, so much so that it could have been by design.
The Bears won’t have any truly live pass rushes in pads, but there will be traffic for Fields to work around on occasion, which will test some of the elements he has been working on.Bears offensive tackle Darnell Wright, right, practices during training camp Wednesday in the Walter Payton Center at Halas Hall.
Wright, the No. 10 pick in the draft out of Tennessee, will be one of the players to watch when pads go on. Young linemen are prone to making mistakes, but as long as Wright can learn from his as he grows, he could ascend rapidly.After Stevenson spent most of the first two practices running with the starting unit, fellow rookie Smith rotated in with the ones Friday. It wasn’t a reflection on Stevenson’s early work in camp.
