The Chicago Bears concluded their offseason program with a mandatory mini-camp, signaling a break before training camp. Reports indicate the offense is progressing faster than the previous year, with quarterback Caleb Williams aiming to improve his completion percentage. Key players like Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III are expected to take on larger roles despite the absence of DJ Moore.
