Here are the highlights from the Chicago Bears' Saturday practice at Halas Hall and a rundown of what we learned from interviews with general manager Ryan Poles, defensive coordinator Alan Williams and the players.
A referee rubs their face with a towel as Bears quarterback Justin Fields runs drills with other players during training camp at Halas Hall on Aug. 2, 2023.
Coach Matt Eberflus said Friday that he views Ngakoue as an “every-down end,” and Williams doubled down on that. Fields directed a drive for a field goal in an “end of the first half” possession, putting the team in position for a 48-yard kick by Andre Szmyt. He hit tight end Cole Kmet on a dump-off and then completed out routes to DJ Moore and Equanimeous St. Brown. The big play came on a 17-yard strike to Jones on an in-breaking route.Packers tight end Marcedes Lewis makes a catch for a two-point conversion against the Bears on Dec. 4, 2022, at Soldier Field.
With a slew of new faces on defense, the Bears have been adamant they will be greatly improved on defense. That sentiment has been repeated and maybe even amplified since the addition of Ngakoue.
