The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for their second training camp practice, where the offense continued to struggle with pre-snap issues and huddle procedures. However, there are still reasons to be optimistic about the team’s chances.
A left tackle battle is heating up between Kiran Amegadjie and Braxton Jones, while seventh-round rookie Kyle Monangai is impressing coaches with his speed and agility. Monangai had a standout practice, showcasing his ability to pick up extra yards with a juke move during a long run.
The backup quarterback competition between Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum is also worth watching, as the team continues to rotate players throughout camp. Meanwhile, Noah Sewell appears to be lining up as the strong side linebacker at the third linebacker spot.
The absence of Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson due to injury has led to fifth-year veteran Nashon Wright getting work with the first-team defense. Wright’s performance could impact his chances of making the 53-man roster.
One position that has garnered attention is safety Jaquan Brisker, who hasn’t been wearing a guardian cap during practice despite missing most of last season due to concussions. His absence from the practice field raises concerns about his health and availability for the upcoming season.
Finally, rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III is listed as day-to-day with a soft tissue injury, while rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner injured his ankle during Wednesday’s practice.
