Summary

The Chicago Bears are progressing through training camp as their first preseason game approaches. Players put on pads for the first time, but safety Coby Bryant will be out for an extended period due to a knee injury. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has shown strong command of the offense without concerns, while first-round safety Dillon Thieneman adjusts to coverage challenges. Braxton Jones is in a strong position to start at left tackle despite an injury, and Dayo Odeyingbo is transitioning to a more interior role on the defensive line.
