The message was heard as tight end Cole Kmet said in his post-practice presser, \u201cI thought it ended up being one of our better practices through camp so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">A strong finish for the nearly 2-hour practice before what will likely be a light workout tomorrow and a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. The Bears play the Titans to close the preseason slate on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Bears could be without a few players the rest of the week, as several left today with an injury, most notably starting right tackle Darnell Wright, who exited to Halas Hall with trainers as he flexed his right arm. That\u2019s the same arm he injured last season, so hopefully there\u2019s good news coming about that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. also left with an injury, and in case you missed it, he was at the center of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windycitygridiron.com\/chicago-bears-analysis\/121260\/chicago-bears-gervon-dexter-trade-rumors\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trade rumor today<\/a>. Tight end Hayden Large was sidelined with a left arm issue, and cornerback Dontae Manning also left practice and did not return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Running back Kyle Monangai is still week-to-week, new defensive end Marcus Davenport wasn\u2019t practicing, and defensive end Austin Booker, who missed Saturday\u2019s game in Cincinnati, was also not participating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">However, the Bears did get some good news on the injury front. Safety Elijah Hicks and rookie linebacker Keyshaun Elliott were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windycitygridiron.com\/chicago-bears-injuries\/121122\/chicago-bears-roster-moves-keyshaun-elliott-and-elijah-hicks-activated-off-pup\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">activated<\/a> from the PUP list, and both got in some work. Quarterback Tyson Bagent returned after missing last week with a hamstring issue. Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson was back in team drills, starting along with Jaylon Johnson. Backup corners Terell Smith and Jaylon Jones were also back, but neither did team drills. Left tackle Ozzy Trapilo was suited up but still just doing individual drills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">A few other nuggets from the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Quarterback Caleb Williams and the first team offense had a mix of good and bad throughout the day. Williams moved the offense from its own 1 yard line when he found Rome Odunze down the middle for a big gain on third down. But Williams then completed one of his six pass attempts during a 7-on-7 drill \u2014 one of those were a drop by running back D\u2019Andre Swift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">The first team offense had a good red zone period working from the defense\u2019s 14 yard line. Williams found Odunze once again for a touchdown pass before Swift ran in 14 yards for another touchdown on the following play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">And a few videos from the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">If you saw anything else from practice that interested you, be sure to share it in the comment section!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Bears held their final training camp practice in front of the fans today at Halas Hall,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":826134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[52257,71345,99],"class_list":["post-826133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-chicago-bears-news","tag-chicago-bears-roster","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=826133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/826134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=826133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=826133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
