1 on 1’s begin.
Rome Odunze on a deep pass in 1 on 1s just completely threw the DB off him, get in the weight room style. Came down with the catch for the TD

Some good reps in the 1-on-1s for the OL vs. DL.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 27, 2024
– Teven Jenkins threw down Zacch Pickens on a rep.
– Braxton Jones had two strong reps against DeMarcus Walker
– Bill Murray won his reps against Michael Dwumfour and Andrew Billings. Murray put Billings on the ground 👀
Nate Davis didn't participate in that session of 1-on-1s, but he did return to join the offensive linemen once the drill ended. https://t.co/2hiLVzTvgN

OL/DL 1-on-1s
— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) July 27, 2024
– Teven Jenkins TOSSED Michael Dwumfour
– Austin Booker with a great spin move on Jake Curhan
– Good period for Bill Murray, who was the No. 2 LG yesterday

– Ryan Bates was at RG (Nate Davis was out for the…

7 on 7 and 11 on 11 team period
11 on 11s with the 1st teams.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1st play is a hand-off left where Swift has an aggressive run through traffic. Like his vibes so far.
2nd play is a quick throw right to Roschon Johnson who makes a nice catch but is immediately met by the defense for a tackle. Little gain on the…
7 on 7s with Caleb Williams 1st team offense and defense.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1st play complete to the right on a easy out route to Keenan Allen.
2nd play, ball takes a minute to come out, Caleb surveys looks to the right sidelines 20 yards downfield on a back shoulder to Kmet who caught it but…
Next session of 11 on 11s with the 1st teams.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1st play is a false start.
2nd play is a false start.
3rd play is a hand-off left to Swift who finds his way through for a gain and spins out at the end and runs downfield. (No tackling)
4th play is a hand-off to Roschon Johnson…
7 on 7 just wrapped. Caleb Williams threw back to back interceptions (Adrian Colbert and Reddy Stewart) before connecting with Gerald Everett on a throw over the middle in traffic.
— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) July 27, 2024
Absolute dart from Caleb Williams to Gerald Everett on the move. That ball had some serious speed on it.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 27, 2024
Rough start for the #Bears offense in 11 on 11 as they had back to back fall starts. Then TJ Edwards came on a blitz, and Caleb Williams got rid of it to Gerald Everett for a first down, followed by a nice sideline pass to Rome Odunze.
— Mark Grote (@grotesports) July 27, 2024
Fumbled snap with Bagent under center, he recovers and throws out of bounds.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
A couple snaps to Caleb were not on the money as well where the QB had to make a little adjustment.
Coleman Shelton is at center and Ryan Bates is at right guard for the first-team offense.
— Nicholas Moreano (@NicholasMoreano) July 27, 2024
With Nate Davis not in for first team reps, it was Coleman Shelton at center and Ryan Bates at right guard #Bears
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 27, 2024
2nd team with Bagent in 11 on 11s
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1st play is a pass to the right to Pettis and Reddy Steward makes a really nice contest on the play. Forces it incomplete. Dude is aggressive.
11 on 11s with 1st teams back up
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1st play is a Roschon hand-off to the right and the DLine had it bottled up pretty good.
2nd play is a quick out to the right side to Rome Odunze which is caught and ruled complete but Tyrique Stevenson knocked it out for a fumble that rolled…
Tyson Bagent picked by someone (they’re on the other side it’s impossible to see)
— DaWindyCity Productions (@dwcprodz) July 27, 2024
Tyson Bagent intercepted by Micah Bakersfield. Tried to force it in on a rollout to the left sidelines.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
After seeing 2 padded practices in person, it's clear that the defense is waaaay ahead of the offense at this point.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
To be expected, but they are really making life difficult for the offense.
Defense that tied for being #1 in the NFL in INT’s last year is certainly picking up where they left off
— DaWindyCity Productions (@dwcprodz) July 27, 2024
Every QB has been throwing picks
Lot of false starts for the first team offense today. DT Andrew Billings is the master of the move team, which you can see the effect on the offense when he barks “MOVE!!!” and it results in someone jumping early.
— Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) July 27, 2024
Khalil Herbert just absolutely trucked someone up the middle. Missed who it was but it was nasty.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
Really long practice is still going.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1st team 11 on 11s going back on the field.
2 Minute Drill
#Bears first team offense couldn’t get it done in two minute drill. Started at their own 30 down 24-17.
— Zack Pearson (@Zack_Pearson) July 27, 2024
Montez Sweat had what looked like a strip sack. Offense had a turnover on downs.
Saw Austin Booker get reps out there and even kicked inside. Saw Gervon on the outside.…
Unsuccessful two-minute drill for the Bears’ starting offense, though it should be noted that Keenan Allen and DJ Moore were on the sideline. OL was missing Braxton Jones and Nate Davis. Good throw to Odunze to start it, a sack by Sweat stalled it.
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) July 27, 2024
1st team 2 minute drill.
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
1:20 on the clock.
1st play is complete for a 1st down to Rome Odunze on a quicker throw.
2nd play on 1st down was a short yardage throw. Play quickly stopped. Clock running.
3rd play Caleb stepped up in the pocket and purposely threw the ball to the…
Walk through 2 minute drill simulation to show the team how to catch a pass, go downfield, get up to the ball and clock it.

Cairo just doinked a very long field goal and it went in
— DaWindyCity Productions (@dwcprodz) July 27, 2024
Cairo Santos missed three attempts from about 51 yards to end practice. #Bears
— Bear Report (@BearReport) July 27, 2024
#Bears practice ends with a rarity: three-straight Cairo Santos misses (and one was a doink).
— Patrick Finley (@patrickfinley) July 27, 2024
Team seemed tired today.
Day off tomorrow, then we're on to a (preseason) game week.
Practice concludes
#Bears just wrapped up their longest practice of training camp. 2.5 hours-plus. Trying day for offense. Penalties galore. We’ll try and get some answers and then I’ll report back on @670TheScore with @steverosenbloom
— Mark Grote (@grotesports) July 27, 2024
Found myself taking more notes on Bears rookie defensive end Austin Booker today. Starting to notice his pass rush a lot more with the pads now on.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) July 27, 2024
That's a wrap for Day 2️⃣ of pads!
— Greg Braggs Jr. (@GBraggsJr23) July 27, 2024
Defense is cookin'! Offense has a lot of work to do. Day off tomorrow.
